Best ALL ROUND cricketer

flibbertyjibber · 30-10-2012, 02:34 AM

So we have had threads on best all rounder, best bowling all rounder but which fatty has been the best?

I reckon you will struggle to find a better bat than Inzamam.

Maybe we could make a team of tubbies.

Grace better than Inzy, surely.

Remember reading somewhere that Grace wasn't that plump in his pomp.

David Boon?

Yeah, true enough. He was still pretty gun even when he was a fat **** though, so he qualifies IMO.

Trent Copeland

Yeah, people forget that most of his fame was earned before people typically took photos.

Here's a fairly early one

Are we setting a basic cut-off of fatness and then only considering cricketing skillz or are we giving both variables equal weightage to get a fat-good quotient?

If the former, Grace. If the latter - Bradman/Dwayne Leverock.

Grace

Boon
Inzamam
Walcott+
Ranatunga
Armstrong

Streak
Gough

Prince EWS · 30-10-2012, 02:57 AM

Warne batting above Streak is an abomination.

kingkallis · 30-10-2012, 02:57 AM

WG Grace
Mark Taylor
David Boon
Inzamam ul Haq
Mike Gatting
Warwick Armstrong
Farrokh Engineer ( + )
Shane Warne
Darren Gough
Eddo Brandes
Merv Hughes

Other notable players :Colin Cowdrey, Jesse Ryder, Arjuna Ranatunga, Akram Khan, Aravinda de Silva, Pat Symcox, Graeme Smith, Heath Streak, Graham Gooch, Darren Lehmann, Wajahatullah Wasti, Ian Austin ( Not sure if he played test cricket though )

I am sure some of the old Indian players would be chubby as well...

Ealham and Bresnan should be in there somewhere. And Ridley Jacobs to keep wicket?

fredfertang · 30-10-2012, 03:40 AM

David Shepherd and Graham Burgess to do the umpiring duties

..... and while I appreciate that Mark Taylor's nickname was "Tubs" surely his place has to go to Ollie Milburn?

Pup Clarke · 30-10-2012, 03:42 AM

Ian Austin was laaaaaaaarrrrrrrrge.
