3) Designated Best Finisher of Australia- Michael Bevan
Michael Bevan is a former Australian Cricketer who is born to be called ‘the finisher’. Left-handed batter & a slow left-arm wrist spin bowler, Bevan is known for his art of finishing fixtures. He stayed in World Cricket from 1994 to 2004 & during this duration, he emerged as the best finisher in World Cricket by finishing fixtures in astute style. During his tenure, he displayed in 18 Tests & 232 ODIs amassing 91 runs in test format & unbeaten 108 runs in ODIs.
Bevan often came on the crease when the team needed good endings or when fixtures were hanging at the edge of loss or win. In such dire situations, Bevan kept his calm & constructed his innings by judging the situation. One of his remarkable stints came in ODI format where he ended his career at a stunning average of 53.58. His ability to keep the game deep down & keeping his team in the hunt makes Bevan one of the best finishers in World cricket.
His ability to make precise on-field decisions & delivering under pressure makes him one of the best batters in Australia’s history. He was also elected as a batter in Australia’s “greatest ever ODI team.” Bevan was also a part of Australia’s three world cup campaigns & played an integral role in Australia’s 1999 & 2000 title triumphs. Michael Brevan’s gritty decision-making in death overs & perfect shot selection under pressure situations makes him the best finisher in the Australian cricket team.
