Oh hush there GS. I for one love logging in to see a load of irrelevant new threads from "newer" members who haven't worked out the search function.

 

[zaremba]

All rounders;

Kallis
Shaun Pollock
Pat Symcox
Lance Klusener (ODI)
Albie Morkel (ODI)

Each to his own, but I'd have thought these guys must be hard to leave out?
- Clive Rice

Composite Test/ODI NZers:

Batting
1. Martin Crowe
2. Jesse Ryder
3. Andrew Jones
4. Ross Taylor
5. Glenn Turner

Bowling
1. Richard Hadlee
2. Shane Bond
3. Daylight
4. Twilight
5. Daniel Vettori

All-rounders
1. Chris Cairns
2. Richard Hadlee
3. Chris Harris
4. Daniel Vettori
5. Scott Styris?

Still not sure how we could have one of the best all-time opening bowling tandems in cricket history but no-one semi-decent to bowl first change.

Why doesn't Chris Cairns make it ahead of Vettori in the bowlers' list?

 

[weldone]

Why doesn't Chris Cairns make it ahead of Vettori in the bowlers' list?

Same question I had in mind when I saw his list....

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Cairns is a good shout, and his test bowling average is about 4 runs/wicket lower than Vettori, but Vettori has been ranking at or near the top of the ODI bowling rankings for a while. I don't think Cairns ever achieved such heights.

Mushtaq Mohammad not making it into your allrounders list makes my brain explode.

[Outswinger@Pace]

Bowlers:

Alan Donald
Fanie De Villiers
Makhaya Ntini
Dale Steyn
Morne Morkel

Others have talked about the all-rounders list, so I wouldn't go there.

But Morne Morkel and Ntini find a place in your bowlers' list? Considering that the Pollocks - Shaun and Peter, Hugh Tayfield, Peter Heine, Neil Adcock and Mike Procter aren't there.
