The Great Allrounders in County Cricket

So we all know the big four AR’s of the 80’s. All did play county and I’m also adding in the records of Procter and Rice, just for some comparison. (unfortunately the sites don’t have no. of innings bowled)

Procter (68-81)
259 matches 437 innings 14441 @ 36.19 32 tons 70 fifties 209 catches
259 matches 833 @ 19.56 SR 45.95 42 5’fers 5 10’fers

Imran (71-88)
173 matches 279 innings 8847 @ 38.30 17 tons 51 fifties 51 catches
173 matches 537 @ 21.08 SR 47.92 27 5’fers 2 10’fers

Hadlee (73-87)
148 matches 196 innings 5854 @ 38.76 11 tons 29 fifties 105 catches
148 matches 622 @ 14.51 SR 40.15 38 5’fers 5 10’fers

Rice (73-87)
283 matches 450 innings 17053 @ 44.29 37 tons 85 innings 268 catches
283 matches 476 @ 23.58 SR 54.53 12 5’fers 0 10’fers

Botham (74-93)
251 matches 379 innings 11904 @ 35.32 22 tons 60 fifties 184 catches
251 matches 659 @ 27.22 SR 53.16 28 5’fers 3 10’fers

Kapil (81-85)
24 matches 40 innings 1456 @ 42.82 1 ton 11 fifties 21 catches
24 matches 72 @ 22.55 SR 50.11 2 5’fers 0 10’fers

Draw what conclusions from this you will.

Based on those numbers Hadlee comes out the best bowler and Rice the best batsmen which is generally what I would expect.

Procter and Imran pretty close on batting in terms of volume of runs and innings per scores over 50. Imran the higher average, Procter better rate of getting 100s

Hadlee has an impressive batting average, but not the volume of runs as the other 2 suggesting a lot of not outs. Surprised by Hadlees catch count, definitely wasn't expecting that!

Thanks for pulling all that up.

Thank you for this information! As a big Hadlee fan, I knew that he had incredible bowling stats in CC. However, I also know that, as Hadlee's Notts team-mate Derek Randall said (in an August 2013 interview at https://leftlion.co.uk/features/201...ttinghamshire-england-test-cricket-cricketer/), their groundsman, Ron Allsopp, sometimes misplaced his mower. As in every week! (I've paraphrased his words) By contrast, I have read (I don't know whether or not it's true) that when Malcolm Marshall bowled at Hampshire, it was often on flat tracks. So I think it would be VERY interesting to see home and away CC stats for the above six cricketers, and for Marshall as well. I know this could be a big ask as such information may be hard to obtain so if it's too much trouble, don't worry about it. Thanks in advance!

Nah I’d have no idea. You’d have to go through them on a game by game basis to work it out.

Yes, for Notts:

versus Glamorgan:

" On 31 August 1968, Sobers became the first batsman ever to hit six sixes in a single over of six consecutive balls in first-class cricket. Sobers hit the first four balls cleanly out of the ground but was caught on his fifth attempt by Roger Davis on the boundary at long-off. "

Actually my bad, there is a stat for specific grounds.

At Trent Bridge (minus his tests)

73 matches 351 wickets @ 12.96 SR 36.10 22 5’fers 4 10’fers

Which makes his away stats

75 matches 271 wickets @ 16.54 SR 45.40 16 5’fers 1 10’fer

Thanks! OK, his stats at home are better but still incredible away.

Yeah a bit. This was more to compare these guys in the same comp they played (basically to have a semi relevant comparison between the South Africans and the others) Sobers was a diff gen and as a batting AR not really comparable I thought. fwiw he averaged 49 and 25 between 68-74

Anyone know how Garth le Roux fared. Probably a little short of these guys on the batting front, but bowling would be interesting as he played in the same team as Imran.
