Gayle is better than Flintoff.

Sorry no he isnt

TOP ALL-ROUNDERS:YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING!

• Geraint Jones
• Watson

1. Dont think Geraint has ever been touted as an all-rounder

2. I resent that....

Batting and bowling.

that was a joke right......

 

[Shane Warne]

that was a joke right......

No.

 

[aussie]

well thats got to be the one of the biggest jokes i've heard mate, Gayle isn't better than Freddie in either bowling/batting in either Test or ODI's

 

[Isolator]

If you're going to have Clarke and Rudolph on the list, shouldn't you have Vettori too?

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Alan Mullally.

 

[Hanuma]

i think gayle has the potential to be better than flintoff.

What is wrong with people

 

[Shane Warne]

Alan Mullally.

Not good enough to play for Australia, so played for England.

 

[Hanuma]

from what i remember of him...mullally was complete ****.

 

[sledger]

Gayle is a better batsmen than Flintoff but is, at best, a part-time bowler.

 

[Retox]

Why is Clarke on that list? He is a part timer at best.

 

[Somerset]

To be honest, that poll will prove very little considering the options containing not only allrounders but wicket-keepers - I realise many regard the keeper batting and wearing the gloves as being an allrounder but for a poll like this it seems a little strange.

I'd have to wonder why Clarke and Ruldoph are on that list - I've only ever seen Rudolph bowl two overs (ironically I seem to remember him dismissing Michael Vaughan!)

So if those two players and wicket keepers are removed...
Andrew Symonds
Abdur Razzaq
Andrew Flintoff
Shoaib Malik
Jacques Kallis
Sanath Jayasuriya
Shaun Pollock
Shahid Afridi
Scott Styris
Chris Gayle
Jacob Oram
Chris Cairns
Maybe the likes of Paul Collingwood and Andrew Hall could be added too. I'd have to go with Andrew Flintoff though, based on his destructive form over the last year - and his performance during the second test backs that up.

 

[Somerset]

If you're going to have Clarke and Rudolph on the list, shouldn't you have Vettori too?

Yeah, actually I completely forgot about Daniel Vettori when thinking of who might be possible additions to that list - definitely agree, his batting form has picked up incredibly and his bowling is world class these days too.

 

[Somerset]

i think gayle has the potential to be better than flintoff.

Haha, yeah right. Gayle's a decent player, very powerful, but Flintoff is in a completely different class.

Andrew Symonds
Abdur Razzaq
Andrew Flintoff
Shoaib Malik
Jacques Kallis
Sanath Jayasuriya
Shaun Pollock
Shahid Afridi
Scott Styris
Chris Gayle
Jacob Oram
Chris Cairns

most of those (Gayle, Jayasuria etc) are batsmen who bowl abit, or (like Pollock) are bowlers who can bat abit.

Symonds, Razzaq, Flintoff, Afridi, Styris, Oram and Cairns are the only ones id really count as all rounders there.
