No but I found that too.... That one is all his dismissals in a season where he registered seven ducks apparently.

He doesn't qualify. His average is about 41 against top eight sides. Good player, but surely not even some who really is married to MW would pick him over Border, Steve, SRT, Laxman, Greg C, Lara, Kallis, etc.

I thought Greg had done a bit better than his record at three. And Ian did better than I expected.

I need someone to separate Viv and Dravid.

maybe which ever person voted for Williamson can cast the vote and be the decider.

the number 3 slot is the hardest to call so many greats battling for one spot.
Ponting, Lara, Viv, Dravid, Sangakkara that not even mentioning the recent modern greats in Amla and Younis khan.

Be funny when someone votes for Lara and it becomes a 3 way tie.

Amla might have some supporters. Maybe hasn't because of the recent India series. I think he has a good record wherever he has played. And an attractive bat. His poorest returns have ben against the weaker Test teams.

Amla's not over yet. Id hazard a guess most of those on the list ended there careers with dropping averages, so Amla may well drop below the required standard. It felt an easier era to play in too
