    2025 Ranking of All Rounders Poll

    He's retired from international cricket but, as an active player at a domestic level, he qualifies as current as he may make a comeback (change in admin might trigger this).

    All Rounders Poll - Discussion

    As anticipated, finding genuine Test all rounders beyond a certain stage becomes difficult. Looking at some of the more recent nominations (eg Greg Chappell) it becomes ridiculous that someone like Walter Hammond has been overlooked by so many (including me). We've reached the stage where it...

    2025 Ranking of All Rounders Poll

    The number of voters (16) was down a bit this round, but we still had 15 different players attracting votes.

    2025 Ranking of All Rounders Poll

    Details, such as initials, are required in some cases.

    All Rounders Poll - Discussion

    If Waugh (either one) gets future votes, an initial will be necessary. Neither should, imo, be considered given their bowling stats and WPM. Hammond has, thus far, been overlooked by most yet his WPM (0.97) make him a far more integral part of an attack than either Waugh (0.55 & 0.46 wpm). Doug...

    Tony Greig vs Trevor Goddard

    A very fair point. I was comparing them as Test all rounders where Greig was more efficient in his short career than Goddard. However, I have to concede, at a first class level, Goddard was far more valuable, both with bat and ball, than Greg.

    Thanks. Fixed on latest table and on my master spreadsheet.

    Tony Greig vs Trevor Goddard

    I'm not sure this Player Comparison is necessarily given 20 odd voters put Greig marginally ahead in the All Rounder Poll. A lot is made of Greig's relative short career. In fact "6 year career vs 16 year career" has been put forward as a case for Goddard. I would respectfully point out that, in...

    All Rounders Poll - Discussion

    I had to correct my spreadsheet from the 9-12 Round. I listed Greig's batting average at 30.44 instead of 40.44. Surprised no one picked it up. It's been corrected.

    All Rounders Poll - Discussion

    I have previously overlooked Ashwin on the basis of a batting average (25.76) as that makes him a borderline contender. Comparisons have been made to Hadlee and while Ashwin scored more centuries (6 v 2) it could be argued that most were against relative minnows. Despite the centuries, Ashwin...

    2025 Ranking of All Rounders Poll

    20 Votes in and no fewer than 19 different players nominated. Obviously there is plenty of interest and plenty of scope to keep this poll going. Two players stood out in the voting while the third spot snuck in by a single point. Goddard 28 C.Cairns 21 B.Stokes 13 R.Ashwin 12 Mankad 10 Mushtaq...

    Greatest Test Match

    I would have preferred this to have been posted in general Cricket Chat rather than here in Player Comparisons where it might get lost among countless, sometimes ridiculous, player v player posts.

    All Rounders Poll - Discussion

    A tongue-in-cheek question: How many names would we have to have on our list before Mitch Marsh earns a spot in our poll? :p

    Barry Richards vs Mark Ramprakash

    One report suggests McKenzie was suffering hepatitis during the SA tour and hadn't fully recovered during the 1970/71 Ashes series. He wasn't selected for the 1972/73 Test series against Pakistan. I recall there were two suggested reasons for this put forward in the W.A. media. One suggestion...

    2025 Ranking of All Rounders Poll

    Still plenty of voters (22 this Round) which is gratifying as I thought interest might drop off after the first few rounds. No fewer than 15 players cropped up with two current players well clear of the rest. Jadeja 30 Shakib al Hasan 26 Greig 16 Goddard 14 C.Cairns 9 Hammond 8 Rhodes 6 Stokes...
