Top 10 Number-Three Batsmen in One Day Cricket of all time

1. Ricky Ponting

Ricky Ponting

Ricky Ponting was one of the most aggressive stroke makers in one day cricket. Ponting encashed on the opening exploits of Hayden-Gilchrist combination and provided impetus to the Australian middle order. A quality player against fast bowling, Ponting could flay away attacks with his belligerent strokeplay. Arguably the best exponent of the pull shot, Ricky looked vintage while pulling the seamers with full command.

A prolific run-getter with a penchant to score the big match winning hundreds, 'Punter' spearheaded an impregnable Australian middle order which comprised of fellow stalwarts like Damien Martyn, Darren Lehmann, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds and Michael Hussey.
