#2 George Bailey

Bailey played in the 2013 Champions Trophy and performed well

George Bailey is best known for his calm demeanour on the field, and the shots he plays in the limited over cricket. The Australian hard-hitter has also captained the Aussie unit in T20I as well as the ODI matches.

He recorded successive fifties in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 - 55 vs England and 55 vs New Zealand - both at Birmingham in June. Along with Ricky Ponting, Bailey (two) is only the second Australian captain to have registered successive fifties in the ICC Champions Trophy.

He became world’s no.2 batsman in the ICC rankings after a successful 2013 in ODI cricket, but his heroics in the Champions Trophy remained limited to the 2013 edition.
