Even though, Sobers played only one ODI and didn't do that well, his name will be difficult to ignore. I hope you understand it. Cheers.
But we'll be rating the players based on their ODI exploits. I think everyone here is smart enough to see Sobers in an all time ODI line up and not judge him and his role in the team based on his test exploits.

I understand the potential problem you have, but I think people will be sensible and view Sobers for the ODI player he was, and therefore not rate him very highly.
