Amla averages 56.49 after 57 matches, strike rate of 91.43. kohli is averaging 50 after 85 matches, troot is at 49 after 46. de villiers is the next averaging 49 with a strike rate of 93 after 127 matches then hussey was still averaged over 50 when he passed the 100 matches mark but now has dropped to 48.

ten Doeschate has the highest average of 67 after 33 matches but obviously the quality of opponent isn't as high.
even if someone bats at 6/7/8/9 wherever it is still ridiculously hard to average 50 in ODI cricket, dhoni and bevan are way ahead of the pack still averaging over 50 after 200+ matches each. i reckon if someone else is to be up their then de villiers will do it, amla might hold onto a 50+ aveage with such a great start to his ODI career and kohli is there to.
