CW's Ranking of All-Rounders (Tests)

[harsh.ag]

Cairns

 

[Line and Length]

For this thread I'm adopting a stricter view of all-rounder than the usual averages above 22 with bat, has at least 1.2WPM (or something like that).

Then Tony Grieg's 40.44 batting ave and 2.43 WPM should fit comfortably within your stricter parameters.

 

[ataraxia]

Yes. It would.

 

[Victor Ian]

Grieg.

 

[honestbharani]

CBF'd to check if I have already voted, but if I haven't....


Jadeja.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Grieg wasn't better than Stokes. He's being underrated here, he's done some incredible things most all rounders in this list can't hope to match.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Stokes from 2016-2020:

47 tests, 3430 runs @ 42, with 8 hundreds, 112 wickets @27, + some genuinely legendary match winning performances

He shouldnt fall any lower in this list than he has already imo.

I am sold.

Change my vote to Stokes.

 

[The Sean]

Yep, Ben Stokes.

34 tests @ 45.40 and 148 wickets @ 24.81 is not impressed with this.

But yea Stokes for crazy match winning performances.

 

[trundler]

Noble and Cairns after this though...

If that's jadeja then the batting average of 45 there is fraudlent. He's a low 30s average batsman on value. Stokes has got his runs higher up the order not just with not out boosting.

Stokes

You can't pick stokes. Grieg is so much more likeable.

How many crazy match winning performances has stokes had? There's just one in tests.

This one vs NZ was brilliant: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...aland-1st-investec-test-743939/full-scorecard

As was this vs SA with bat and ball : https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...rica-vs-england-2nd-test-1185305/match-report

 

[Victor Ian]

I'm not impressed with the SA one. He played his part. Nothing special with the ball, but 6 catches is cool, but not something that is really in his control.

The New Zealand one is OK, but others also put in big efforts. I mean, they are great games, but not crazy match winning games. Even if you count them, 3 match winning performances in 70 odd games seems thin.

I guess he is due to appear on the list somewhere about now and I'm just not voting for him because spite, but Tony Grieg is horribly underrated.

 

[Victor Ian]

Mainly because I'm bored, I think once this list is compiled it would be fun to rate them again, based on who would win in a fight. Like, who are some legitimately tough cricketers?

Douglas jardine tops that list for me.
