Shakib Al Hasan vs The Great All Rounders

[Malcolm]

Yes, Mankad was quite gun. One of his double hundreds came in England if I am not wrong.

Both were against New Zealand

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

I mean, he averages 37 or so with the ball against top teams.

40 above against most top teams

I was probably thinking about this innings of 184 against England at Lords: Full Scorecard of England vs India 2nd Test 1952 - Score Report | ESPNcricinfo.com

Played against Trueman, Bedser and Laker. Scored 72 in first innings too.

Mankad bowled 97 overs in that match ! In addition to scores of 184 and 72 with bat. It is tough to find many players in history who have done that kind of heavy lifting in a match. Probably none.

Without Zim or Afg he scores 35 runs/innings and bowling ave 33.Quite similar to Watson but in ODI Shakib batting is not good.A

So still more runs than any of the 80’s all rounders and a worse average. Big whoop.

He played too many years even though Ban play less match than Pak or Aus

Ok?

 

[Johan]

Good Cricketer but I don't think I'd have him in my top 10 all rounders

 

[slcricfan1]

Proper genuine all rounder throughout his career

Who are your top 10 all rounders?

 

[Johan]

Who are your top 10 all rounders?

in no particular order. Sobers, Miller, Imran, Botham, Kallis, Worrell, Rhodes, Hadlee, Dev, Pollock and Faulkner

Yeah that's my top ten as well except Worrell. Would add Procter (and Grace) if FC was included.

Shakib makes the top 15 at least, right?

What about Lance Klusener (ODI),Afridi (test) and Shane Watson (odi) in your top 10?

ODI is inferior to tests. And if Shakib is not making it in the top ten, they are hardly in the top 25.

 

[Fanboy375]

Shakib is like Andy Flower to Ban.Zim fans will bring Flower as their pride.Shakib and Flower can be in Asia xi and Africa xi list respectively

 

[Fanboy375]

Why isn't Hammond considered as a top all rounder candidate?

 

[capt_Luffy]

in no particular order. Sobers, Miller, Imran, Botham, Kallis, Worrell, Rhodes, Hadlee, Dev, Pollock and Faulkner

Is Worrell an all-rounder though??
