World's Best All Rounder Ever!

ya 4000 odd wkts n 20000 odd runs is it?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Yup. And he batted at nos. 7-9, and bowled 4-5. Very good job.

Isn't Sobers like that? Brillant batter, tight bowler?

As I said in my old post, too simple

Also where is Richie Benaud. :P Great leg spinner handy with the bat although I didn't see much of him with the bat.

In my opinion, Sobers.... daylight.... next bloke. Love Chris Cairns though. Wasim could have been even greater if he had continued the sort of form with the bat that he displayed early in his career.

 

[satishmania]

cairns had 2 many injury problems.. otherwise he cud hav got past 400 wkts n 6000 runs in tests easily since he started his international career at 19

Harvey is missing aswell, I can't remeber his first name,
but Benaud says he was the best All-rounder he'd seen.

 

[satishmania]

Neil Harvey i think is his full name

 

[shanewarne]

I think the best all rounder of all time is Sobers

Neil Harvey wasn't really an all-rounder, well, I guess an all-rounder in the sense that Michael Clarke or Sachin Tendulkar is an all-rounder. He was a very good batsman first and a handy part-timer second.

I think Richie says Keith Miller was the greatest all-rounder he had played with.

 

[A Gilchrist]

Adam Gilchrist - he has to be up there.

 

[satishmania]

then we could even say West Indies keeper Alcott and England's Alec Stewart were all rounders :
