Would say from an english persepctive it would have to be Ian Botham. A man who could win games with bat or ball, and sometimes both in the same game.


myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

Yeah Ian Botham is best all rounder that England ever produced and I doubt England will ever find such an all rounder in coming days.

All the players you have named are outstanding all rounders ever produced and they are the ever green best players. I admire Hadlee, Kapil, Botham more than others because I have seen them playing. I did not see Sobers in action, so cannot much comment on him.. thanks for your response..

3. myLot reputation of 96/100. picjim (2224)   ranked 469 out of 1,869 in cricket   3 years ago

I would pick Sir Garfield Sobers as the best followed by Miller,Mike Procter,Richard Hadlee,Vinoo Mankad,Kapil dev.Ian Botham,Imran khan,Clive Rice,Richie Benaud,Flintoff and Ravi Shastri.


myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

Well what about Shaun Pollock, Jacquies Kallis, Bob Simpson, Allan Border.. Kapil Dev is my favorite and Sobers is best among your list...


myLot reputation of 96/100. picjim (2224)   ranked 469 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

I accept Shaun pollock but the others were great batsmen who could bowl reasonably well but were not great bowlers.


myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

Agreed with you but they are recoginsed as best all rounders by ICC and their respective boards..

Top twenty is too much.lol, may be we are having only 20 or so genuine all rounders till now.. so all will come in the list. top 5 for me would be..
Andrew Flintoff
Jacques kallis
Chris Crains
Sanath jayasurya
Shaun Pollock


myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

Out of your list my favorite player is Chris Cranes and Jayasuriya. I like Kallis in Tests and Shaun Pollock too in tests, both are outstanding players in test cricket..


myLot reputation of 76/100. vipinl (433)   ranked 21 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

By far the best out of these for me is flintoff.. all others are on same level.


myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

Well Flintoff is not great batsman in my view, he is good bowler but not a batsman. what do you say?? In batting wise, Kallis is much better player and Jayasuriya and others..


myLot reputation of 76/100. vipinl (433)   ranked 21 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

ya if one goes with the record books Kallis have by far better statics then Flintoff with 10000 plus runs and 31 test crnturies. Crains too have better averages than him with both bat and ball. But Flint off at his best was brutal whether it was batting or bowling.. and you will find many of his performancews which u just can't expect from any other of his counter parts whether it was his two fifties at Edgbaston that included 9 sixes and shook the Aussies to the core.. and with that one of the most brutal overs in the test history in which he smashed Langer's furniture and Ricky Ponting was all confused by a fizzing leg-cutter. His stats are not that great but he always had a big impact on how his team performs. And with that he was the major factor for both the ashes wins of England after that long time. He is one of the guys that every one enjoys playing with as much as spectators loves his game.


myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

Well friend, I personally feel that his batting is bit weak but his bowling is brutal and I agree with you on that point. In batting Flintoff did not play according to his potential..

I dont not have a list of 20 best allrounder but i can give some names.
Kapil Dev,V.V.N.Richards,John T Rhodes,Ajay Jadeja(I dont know whether he have records),Sachin Tedulkar,steve waugh,Adam Gilchrist


myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

well friend, Ajay Jadeja and Jonty Rhodes are not known as all rounders. They are good batsmen with great fielding skills. Sachin too cannot be said as All rounder and Adam Gilchrist is a wicket keeper not an All rounder again. Kapil Dev is legendary all rounder and Viv Richards was great batsman but he is not an all rounder, he use to bowl occassionally. Anyhow thanks for your views...

myLot reputation of 95/100. madhuvamsi (925)   ranked 118 out of 1,869 in cricket  3 years ago

Wow that was very long list and thanks for your views. Out of your list I feel Shaun Pollock and Wasim Akram are the legendary all rounders.. Kapil Dev too and Michael Clarke not often bowl in test matches or ODI's, if he concentrates more on his bowling then he can do wonders for Aussies spin attack.. What is your say on Imran Khan, Ian Botham and Sir Garrifield Sobers???....

Ooh no it is hard to name 20 all rounders at a time but still I will try to name the players who I think are best..
1)Sir Richard Hadlee (The first bowler to cross 400 plus wickets in test cricket in very few matches.. I like his batting as well..)

2)Garfield Sobers (Recently seen classic matches where Sobers batted so well that bowlers have no clue to get him out. He is great fielder and bowlers as well.)

3)Kapil Dev (Kapil helped India to win the World Cup 1983 against the might West Indies and he is the best all roudner that India had ever produced in both Tests and ODI formats..)

4)Ian Botham (Botham is the best all rounder that England had ever produced and now England is struggling to find a all rounder like him.)

5)Wasim Akram (Akram is best bowler who can use the yorker and bouncer very deadly. I cannot forget his test knock where he scored a big double hundred against the Australia.)

6)Imran Khan (Khan helped the Paksitan team to win the World Cup 1992 and he is best swing bowler during his playing days. His batting too was very aggressive in nature..)

7)Steve Waugh (When Steve started his career he wsas more known as bowler than batsman but later in his career he become an exciting batman and helped Australia win the World Cup 1999)

8)Richie Benaurd (He was best all rounder from Australia in 1960's and presently he is the best commentator on Channel 9.)

9)Jacques Kallis (Presently he is the best all rounder who is playing.. )

10)Allan Border (Border is the legendary captain and best all rounder during his playing days and he was the second player to score 10000 plus runs after Sunil Gavaskar.)

11)Shane Warne (Warnie is more known for his bowling then batting but he played very crucial batting innings for Australia which helped the Aussies win the test matches.)

12)Clive Rice (He is one of the best all rounders that South Africa had ever produced..)

13)Daniel Vettori (Vettori is my favorite all rounder presently, I like the way he bowls and his batting too had improved a lot.)

14)Chris Cairns (Chris is known for his big hitting in both tests and ODI's. I like his innings in Australia where he hampered the good bowling attack of Australia. New Zealand created history by winning the test series..)

15)Malcolm Marshall (He is the one of fast bowlers that West Indies ever produced but later he developed his batting and become an All rounder..)

16)Andrew Flintoff (Presently best all rounder for England..)

17)Anil Kumble (Kumble started his career as spinner bowler but later in his career became good batsman..)

18)Shaun Pollock (Pollock is the best all rounder who along with Kallis had made South Africa very good cricket nation. His bowling is very consistent and his batting improved and improved during end of his career.)

19)V Mankad (He is the legendary all rounder for India during his days..)

20)Intikab Alam (He is best all rounder for Pakistan during his days.)

I have more names but these are few players I have seen playing, so named them. There might be even great players who I might not have named. Excuse me for that..
