CW's Ranking of All-Rounders (Tests)

[Fuller Pilch]

I'd say

Ashwin, Barlow, Gregory, Reid, Hammond, Vettori, De Grandhomme, Flintoff, Holder, Oram should be the next 10.

So Ashwin

 

[OverratedSanity]

Eddie Barlow

 

[ataraxia]

Gregory, I guess

 

[trundler]

Warwick Armstrong, the Mushtaq before Mushtaq

 

[harsh.ag]

Flintoff

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Some real part timers getting in here. Might as well throw in Greg Chappell.

 

[Nikhil99.99]

Wilfred Rhodes

 

[CricAddict]

I don`t rate Ashwin much as an all-rounder. Flintoff and Holder are better. Flintoff it is for me.

 

[Victor Ian]

Yeah. I'm a Flintoff fan.

 

[The Sean]

Jack Gregory

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I don`t rate Ashwin much as an all-rounder. Flintoff and Holder are better. Flintoff it is for me.

Vettori was a better all rounder than Flintoff. Better batter, equal bowler, much better captain.

 

[CricAddict]

Vettori was a better all rounder than Flintoff. Better batter, equal bowler, much better captain.

That`s a valid opinion. Yes, Vettori was a very good player. I rate him highly too.

 

[harsh.ag]

That`s a valid opinion. Yes, Vettori was a very good player. I rate him highly too.

I also have controversial opinions, stated mildly

Jack Gregory

I will go with this

This is a great discussion. I disagree with quite a few of the rankings but great to see rationale.

This is what the list would look like if voted for by me and then I will add in my vote for the CW list.

Here goes:

1. Garry Sobers
2. Imran Khan
3. Jacques Kallis
4. Ian Botham
5. Richard Hadlee
6. Kapil Dev
7. Keith Miller
8. Shaun Pollock
9. Wasim Akram
10. Andrew Flintoff
11. Aubrey Faulkner
12. Ben Stokes
13. Monty Noble
14. Tony Greig
15. Shakid Al Hasan
16. Chris Cairns
17. Trevor Goddard
18. Ravindra Jadeja

Considering Flintoff is not on the list yet (Remarkable that Cairns and Goaddard can make it on though), so my vote for 19 is Mr Flintoff.

Good post but Miller at 7 is too low Imo.Akram can’t be considered AR.If he is in there then there are lot of great players that should have been in there.

You seem to have misplaced Jadeja at 18 instead of at 1.

 

[Line and Length]

The really ATG all-rounders who excelled in both disciplines are pretty scarce now ... unless we look at much earlier eras.
I'll stick with Flintoff in the meantime.

Test double century under his belt and a batting average in the 20s isn't bad. He was a lower order slugger who could play better innings if it was needed of him, certainly an all rounder, considering some of the names that are being picked.

You can't put Shakib at 15. He's an ATG. I'm a Kiwi and think Shakib is higher than Hadlee as an AR (obviously much lower as a cricketer).

Wasim is not an all rounder. Flintoff should be somewhere in the mid 20s. Jadeja is way too low.
