Looking at this Jayasuriya, Tharanga, Asle and Gayle looks very impressive. Nafees also has a good record, but that was mainly against associate countries

Gilchrist, easily.

Since there was a thread about the best test opener I thought of adding a poll for current best ODI opener. Current form is taken in to account.
