Vote for The Greatest ODI Batsman - Sanath Jayasuriya

From Aug 31,2009, www.espnstar.com, along with SportsCenter India, Score Tonight and Inside Cricket, are running a joint Online – On-Air initiative to decide which star from a whole host of great batsmen has made the biggest impact on the high-octane, adrenaline-pumping world of one-day International Cricket.

A stellar list of batting stars including Sanath Jayasuriya, Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting are short-listed for the right to be crowned “The Greatest ODI Batsman” – and it is your vote that will decide who wins.

Below, you'll see a list of sixteen batsmen who have wowed Cricket crowds over the years. When voting opens, we're looking for you to decide exactly who was “The Greatest" ODI Batsman ever.

At present Sanath Jayasuriya is competing with M.Bevan and Sanath is leading in the race for the next round with approx 9% lead.

He shall be facing Saeed Anwar next.

I request all Sri Lankan and Sanath Jayasuriya fans to vote for Sanath Jayasuriya till the poll ends,as many times as possible and give Sanath the place he deserves.

Greatest ODI Batsman of all time - Sanath Jayasuriya.
