Best ALL ROUND cricketer

[The Sean]

Agree with the "fat cat".What about Peter Burge

Ha ha yes forgot about Burge - "Australia's fastest growing sport."

 

[Flametree]

Seem to recall a serious cricket-writer somewhere describing then-Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud as "an allrounder in physique only"....

No cricket side will ever beat the Botham / Hemmings / Miller trio England sent to NZ in the early 80's.

It was New Age newspaper : "His claim of being an all-rounder is clearly more a reflection of his physique than abilities in Test cricket."

haha!

Dwayne Leverock has things orbiting around him.

A description which now applies to Cosgrove, last time I saw him he looked as if he could double up as a sightscreen.

Eddo Brandes may have been oversize, but he had the best retort in history when an opponent mentioned this to him....
