Well you're opening a can of worms there mate. If you start picking holes in Sobers record, one could say that Imran wasn't a good batsman until the 2nd half of his career, and by then his bowling was decent, but not quite as brilliant as before. Also, I think Ian Botham was a pretty genuine allrounder too. Scored 12 centuries I think. Sure he was hit and miss with the bat, and failed v WI, but not many bad batsmen score 12 centuries (although Marcus North might prove me wrong yet

) A couple of others that I think were pretty balanced allrounders: Tony Greig and Aubrey Faulkner. Both very underrated players.
I realise it's a bit off topic sorry

1 Glenn McGrath
2 Sir Richard Hadlee
3 Malcolm Marshall
4 Sydney Barnes
5 Curtley Ambrose
6 Imran Khan
7 George Lohmann
8 Shane Warne
9 Muttiah Muralitharan
10 Joel Garner
