Dan the (bats)man

Everyone knows Don Bradman averaged 99.94 in tests, but did you know he averaged 103.63 while batting at number three in the batting order? Why is that important? Because Cricinfo has compiled a list of the best batsmen at each spot in the batting order. Bradman is always going to stand out in any list of batting achievements, but he does have to share this list with one DL Vettori, who snaffles the World XI's number 8 batting slot with an average of 36.21. Glenn Turner also makes an appearance in the rankings, in one day cricket he makes a spot at the top of the order his own with a ODI average of almost 50 as an opener.
