Prompt - create an all time test XI of allrounders including two opening batsmen and a wicketkeeper batsman

I'll create an all-time Test XI consisting exclusively of cricket's greatest all-rounders throughout history:


All-Time Test XI of All-rounders


  1. Vinoo Mankad (India) - Excellent opening batsman who scored 2,109 Test runs at 31.47 and took 162 Test wickets with his left-arm spin.
  2. Wilfred Rhodes (England) - Incredible career spanning 1899-1930, opened batting and was a world-class left-arm spinner with 127 Test wickets and 2,325 runs.
  3. Garfield Sobers (West Indies) - The ultimate all-rounder with 8,032 Test runs at 57.78 and 235 wickets with his versatile bowling.
  4. Jacques Kallis (South Africa) - 13,289 Test runs at 55.37 and 292 wickets, perhaps the most complete all-rounder statistically.
  5. Keith Miller (Australia) - Flamboyant all-rounder with 2,958 Test runs (36.97) and 170 wickets (22.97).
  6. Imran Khan (Pakistan) - Batting average of 37.69 and 362 wickets at 22.81, exceptional captain and match-winner.
  7. Adam Gilchrist (Australia) - Revolutionary wicketkeeper-batsman with 5,570 Test runs at 47.60, 17 centuries, and 416 dismissals.
  8. Kapil Dev (India) - 5,248 runs at 31.05 including a memorable 175* and 434 Test wickets.
  9. Ian Botham (England) - Explosive all-rounder with 5,200 runs at 33.54 and 383 wickets, changed matches in moments.
  10. Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh) - Modern great with 4,000+ Test runs at 39+ and 200+ wickets with his left-arm spin.
  11. Richard Hadlee (New Zealand) - 3,124 Test runs at 27.16 and 431 wickets at an exceptional 22.29.

Captain: Imran Khan

This team balances batting depth (everyone could bat), bowling variety (pace, swing, and spin), and includes representatives from different eras and cricket-playing nations.

Batting orders are hard for allround teams, so a pretty great effort here imo.

Other than calling out a ODI innings when talking about Kapil's Test stats, that's a great effort.

All the spinners are left handed . Would drop Shakib for Ashwin personally.

I was surprised how well it did, not that far off from the one I’d make tbh. Would probably have Engineer (keeper+opener) which gives room for Faulkner. And also makes it have one less player that a normal XI would usually have.

I'd rather open with Goddard and Barlow and get Pollock in there.

It also depends a lot on how we're defining all rounder because you could sneak in Hammond, Flower, Ashwin and potentially Akram in there.

For me I feel like actually Hammond and Akram are probably the two where I draw the line. Very arbitrary. But I’m not comfortable calling either an AR. Then again, If a player was much worse in their primary skill and at thei secondary skill level of those two I might call them an AR.

Vibes kinda thing I guess.

Hammond bowled and quite regularly to start at least.

Don't see the issue, it's a role and he played it.
