Who are the top 5 allrounders of the last 30 years (post the big 4 of the '80s). Jacques Kallis is a given unless you have rocks in your head, so please pick four more.

I'd probably go (in order): Shakib, Pollock, Jadeja, Stokes
but Cairns/Flintoff would be close as would McMillan and Ashwin, with Oram, Vettori, CDG, and Holder just behind. I'd expect Green to finish very high on this list in 5+ years and Mayers may if he continues as he has started.

Maybe I should have done top 8 or 10. Might've produced more interesting results.

Nah trundler voted for Stokes ahead of Jadeja. Right about the others though I think.

Shakib, Stokes and Pollock the market leaders here.
Much as I love Fred, I think my affection is probably clouded (can affection be clouded? Burnished might be a better word) by 2005 and all that. His world class window was more of a porthole than patio doors.
Had a punt on Cam Green for my fourth shout. V early days, obvz, but the boy's well of potential is very deep.

Any one not voting for Shakib/Stokes/Pollock/Jadeja are just punting. They are the only 4 ATG test all-rounders in that list I would say.
The others are either not ATG or not all-rounders.

Cairns, Oram, Styris, de Grandhomme
Vettori and McMillan (Craig) unlucky to miss out

Whatever it takes!!!
Voted Shakib, Stokes, Answer and Pollock. Actually rethinking as the Pollock vote is more based on how he looked as a batsman than actual achievements where I think he is at similar level to Ashwin.
Flintoff, Cairns and Watson will probably make it to an ODI version of the same question. I guess Jayasuriya too, but he has the Pollock problem but with his bowling.

Symonds would definitely make an ODI version.

This tbh is up for debate depending on how you analyse allround contributions.
