Once again, very well done MrMister. Enjoyable write ups and a very enjoyable result. I'm a huge Khan fan, and a slightly larger Miller fan - the only all rounder to have his own slogan - "It's Miller Time!"

Very well done Mr. Mister. After a long time we had a countdown thread that threw up some unexpected/unconventional results. Made for a very enjoyable read throughout.
Personally would have liked Imran topping the list but if not him, no one better than Miller to win the honours.

Thanks Howe. It would have been nice to have a bigger pool of all rounders and also more voters. But this was decent. I was planning to race through the write ups until I got to Trevor Goddard and really enjoyed in depth analysis
From then on I spent a long time studying statsguru for each guy

would people be interested in an ODI all-rounders edition? It'd be nearly all new names, with only a few of the same guys where it was necessary(Flintoff, Pollock, maybe one or two of the big four but definitely no Botham)
be cool to see where Klusener, Watson, Afridi and even Steve Waugh end up on a list like this. A few '90s/00s kiwis might warrant participation as well

Procter definitely, **** South Africa's racism and politics. Based on his first class stats and achievements, playing around the same time as the big 4 he would have been huge. South Africa itself would've been equal to or better than the West Indies at the time I believe. His bowling was amazing, obviously, and well 6 first class centuries in 6 consecutive innings speaks for itself. In between Imran and Miller as a batsman and right up there with Imran and Hadlee as a bowler.

Certainly. I've always held Procter's bowling abilities in the highest regard. For me, he is in the top tier of all-time fast bowlers. And it was only until recently that I realised how great of a batsman he must have been too (6 centuries in a row & other such feats).

Eyes not spreadsheets
Weren't the 6 consecutive centuries in the lower level South African system though (so more similar to Grade Cricket standard then first class cricket)
You could go back even earlier than Rhodes and Noble, and include George Giffen, Albert Trott, Billy Barnes, Billy Bates, WG Grace, George Hirst, Allan Steel, Stanley Jackson and Jimmy Sinclair...

The South African first class competition was extremely strong then, especially due to the the international ban. Definitely a better batsman than Imran, wouldn't put him quite up with someone like Miller. His overall first class stats are almost exactly on par with his first class stats playing for Gloucestershire. Respectively, 21936 @ 36.01 with 48 centuries, 1417 wickets @ 19.53 with 70 5 fers. At Gloucestershire, 14441 @ 36.19, 32 centuries, 833 wickets @ 19.54.
