Bravo arguably > Baptiste

And Richards wasn't the world's worst offspinner, although that may be stretching things a bit.

 

[neville cardus]

OK, a quick stab at England:
1. Rhodes
2. Stewart (wk)
3. Grace
4. Dexter
5. Woolley
6. Greig
7. Botham
8. Bailey
9. Flintoff
10. Hirst
11. Illingworth
I've probably forgotten someone really obvious, so be kind to me ..

I'd give Peel a run.

 

[neville cardus]

If you want Tate, how about for Bailey?

Greig.

Cant drop Hirst.
The father of modern swing bowling

I'd give that title to Spofforth.

Nah, Bart King invented "swerve" bowling.

Hmm well not sure if Worrell's bowling was that good enough for him to be considered an all-rounder TBH, someone like Mankad who opened for India would be a better option to open i think.

With Wasim & Marshall yea bowling absolutely brilliant but their batting was at a shane warne level decent but not consistent enough to be considered overall an all-rounder would probably pick Kapil Dev & Mike Procter in their spots.

Wasim Akram

 

[neville cardus]

Allrounders Alltime XI:
Tony Greig

Greig was only an allrounder by virtue of his being more average at more things than the average player.

Wasim Akram

Wasim was only briefly a genuine allrounder, and I am not prepared to accept only a brief spell of batting form in considering him for an all-time eleven. Your exclusion of one or all of Stanley Jackson, W.G. Grace and Warwick Armstrong (as captaincy candidates, too) pongs of historical ignorance.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Akram wasn't really a good enough batsman to be called an allrounder, more like a very good bowler who could be good at batting on occasions. Depends what you class as an allrounder also.

...♫He's fat, he's round, he bounces on the ground.................David Boon.♫....

Had great fun singing that during the 1993 series. He took in slightly better humour than Rodney Marsh did in 1981 when he threatened members and broke a few windows.

He's a fine winer, diner and spinner. Is that all round enough for you ?

With Wasim & Marshall yea bowling absolutely brilliant but their batting was at a shane warne level decent but not consistent enough to be considered overall an all-rounder would probably pick Kapil Dev & Mike Procter in their spots.

Malcolm Marshall averaged mid-twenties in FC cricket and made several hundreds, averaged 18 and scored a half-century every 10 innings at test level.
Wasim averaged 22 in test cricket with 3 hundreds.
I'd call them both bowling allrounders.
