CW's Ranking of All-Rounders (Tests)

[Fuller Pilch]

Miller 13
Hadlee 3
Botham 1

Pretty clear cut for no 4.

 

[CricAddict]

Yes. Number 5 will be an interesting competition between Hadlee and Botham.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I doubt Botham will beat Hadlee on CW. Hadlee’s elite bowling and lower order hitting always outweighs Botham’s far superior all around ability.

Botham.

Botham.

In an all-rounder ranking, between equals, personally I would like to rate the more balanced all-rounder more and so my vote is for Botham as well. Hadlee rightly got his place in the bowlers list and so this one is Ian's.

Ian Botham.

Ian Botham.

Botham is more balanced but you will likely be getting an inconsistent cricketer with flashes of brilliance.

I am going for Hadlee.

Yes. Number 5 will be an interesting competition between Hadlee and Botham.

Why do you laugh for this?

Coz I misread the numbers.. Thought u meant Jadeja will get in before Hadlee as the next one.

Will be a very nice FP bait, tbf.

Ha ha I had actually already said that in post 215. And exactly as you guessed, FP had taken the bait

 

[OverratedSanity]

I vote Botham. Had arguably the greatest peak of any all rounder. Deserves to be top 5 imo.

Edit: Oh wait we're still on number 4. That's still Miller

 

[trundler]

Once Miller goes through I'll vote for Botham too. Miller lower than Kallis seems crazy to me personally but oh well.

 

[Daemon]

Miller

 

[CricAddict]

Miller

Miller is taken already. We are all voting for the next position.

 

[The Sean]

This is confusing, number 4 hasn't actually been called yet for Miller but people are voting for number 5 assuming that it has?

FP's note earlier that it was pretty clear cut for Miller is true, but he's not actually running the thread!

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Imran.

 

[HookShot]

Kallis is probably the second greatest ‘batting allrounder’ after Sobers, so not an unexpected choice for No.3 on the list.

Could've had #1 batting AR, bowling AR and balanced AR (Miller) in succession though

 

[ankitj]

Hadlee

Gonna rage quit if he doesn't come in at #5

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

If Hadlee is already picking up votes as an all-rounder, should we be considering Hammond as well as someone who's an approximate batting AR counterpoint? (I.e. awesome bat, handy but not special bowler.)
