Playing Selector: All time great allrounders No.6 - No.10

[Fuller Pilch]

If Vaas and Streak are included as allrounders, Mitchell Johnson should be too.

If Johnson is considered one, then why not Starc??

According to the criteria above Johnson has a century, while Starc only has a 99!

New rule: you can only complain about people not being on the poll if you'd actually vote for them in your five.

 

[bagapath]

Where is Vernon Philander?

0 centuries. not good enough to be called an allrounder

 

[bagapath]

y no Procter

he didn't play enough tests to make the cut.

 

[bagapath]

75 wickets is far too high.
That eliminated the likes of Oram and De Grandhomme.

Good. that means 75 is the right cut off.

 

[shortpitched713]

0 centuries. not good enough to be called an allrounder

And that's a function once again of excessive SA batting depth, and a relatively shorter career, unnecessarily counting against him. Philander had 3 FC centuries, adequate Test average, and certainly has the quality as a bat to be called a bowling all-rounder, better than some on this list.

My man, you are too obsessed with centuries...... Chetan Chauhan don't have a Test Century; does that means Johnson or Streak is a better bat??

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Bruce Taylor - only player ever to score a century and get a 5-fer on debut.

 

[ataraxia]

Yasir Shah imo

Not to forget the one, the only, Xenophon Balaskas.

I mean, I can honestly see why there's only one "Xenophon Balaskas"......

And Harbhajan Singh is much better as he got 2 (both against us!).

no centuries means they are not in the running. that is all. you can start a new thread to rank non century makers if you want to know my ranking of those guys.

I just think that having a century as a cut-off is not really fair; I hardly think anyone rates Lindwall's bat over Davidson's.

 

[Qlder]

Thinking of sacrificing my Chris Cairns vote to help keep Kapil as the #8 rated allrounder over Jadeja and Pollock

(I didn't vote for any of the 3 but if I have to pick one it'd be Kapil)

Its not necessarily the best criteria for an allrounder, but its what bagapath’s chosen as his criteria. Ya don’t like it, make your own thread about Davidson et all.


ftr I don’t think either of them are allrounders (at test level)
