Great ODI players

There has been talk recently, especially in light of Richard Boock's hopefully-premature-obituary, that Nathan Astle is the finest batsman to have played one-day cricket for New Zealand. A Cricinfo study doesn't include Astle in its list of the world's top batsmen, but then no New Zealanders made that list. Two Kiwis did make the bowling list however, Richard Hadlee and Shane Bond - who is the only bowler on the list still playing.
