Who is the better all arounder: Garry Sobers or Imran Khan?

[Darth018]

Something from another thread that came up which gave me the idea. Decide who the better all rounder is.

I'm all about specialists so I would pick Sobers just for his batting even if he didn't bowl really.

There are a lot better specialist bowlers than Imran Khan and his batting won't really be useful with a squad full of specialist batsmen. So he won't really make my team.

I fear the same. Still, stranger things have happened...

Nah, it'll be merged with one of the 20 or so threads we already have on this subject.

Surely making the best team isn't necessarily the same as being the better cricketer?

Same answer as I always give, although I wish some of our "newer" members would do a search before starting threads.

I love the sinister inverted commas around "newer".

I'm curious as to what Marc is insinuating there

Or not.

Plenty of other threads talk about the same thing if we want to manage a semblance of an actual discussion.
