Choose ONE all-rounder for the all-time ODI XI

[JBH001]

Kapil Dev has the slightly better economy rate, couple that with his much more destructive batting at #7 and I think he's the perfect candidate.

I agree with you Perm. Also I see little need to have Imran as the captain when Ponting will presumably take on that job, and do it well too.

Kapil Dev for me.

Imran is a far better skipper than Ponting, but I don't think captaincy should come into the equation too much.

@ Abdul Razzaq getting a vote.Anyway,Imran Khan gets my vote.

How many runs and wickets has Razzaq contributed to Pakistan? Quite a few I think.

Yeah but he doesn't come anywhere close to the other all rounders IMO.

I would have Carins over Razzaq any day of week. One is in and out of his national team, another an out and out match winner.

Surprised at the lack of votes for Kallis, actually. He could end up with 10,000 runs/300 wkts.

Can Kapil pass Imran??!!!

 

[Sanz]

Can Kapil pass Imran??!!!

Yes, In ODIs he can.

His bowling isn't strong enough and his batting wouldn't lend itself to well to the #7 position.

I certainly hope so, we need to get a few more smart people in here

Kapil also hit perhaps the greatest ODI innings of all time, against Zimbabwe at the 1983 world cup.

Probably the 2nd-best of the early era, after IVAR's 183* at Old Trafford in 1984.

Patroitism dictates Hadlee

Though Cairns should be there but thats already been argued.

 

[Xuhaib]

At one point Razzaq was a genuine match winner with the ball in ODI's but I dont think his batting was up to scratch at that point.

 

[Raghav]

I could have voted had you put Cairns in the list...A true Allrounder when NZ team needed most...A player who single handedly won a maiden multi team title (ICC mini WC) for his country..

Quite dissapointed to see Razzaq TBH....Cairns should have got the place if Razzaq gets

 

[Richard]

Indeed. Cairns > Razzaq as an all-round package. Razzaq was once a pretty useful bowler, and has been for quite a while one hell of a hitter when he gets it right, better than just about anyone.

But IMO he's never really been even a ODI-class all-rounder, never mind multiple-XI material.

 

[R_D]

Yeah Razzaq had that golden patch for a season or two where he was bowling really well but Carins better them him hands down.
