Past and Present- Who is the best player of the short ball?

I don't mean just defending or ducking. Who can play the shots at the right time and duck at the wrong time?

    Bradman, Greg Chappell, Ponting, Gower, Sobers, Lara, Richards and Gavaskar were all great players of short pitched bowling.

    Presently Clark, Cook, Pieterson and Amla play it well.

    Lara and Ponting were the best players of short pitched stuff, at least since '95 from the time I was born!

    Presently Amla, Kohli and Clarke have looked impressive while handling short pitched bowling!

    Cheers! :)

    I saw some classic shorts on short ball from the bat of Ricky Ponting. So to me he is best on short ball.
