Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
Right, something that's had my attention for the last few days has been all-rounders in First Class cricket and how their performances matched up against each other.
I'm particularly keen on hearing about events/stories/players/statistics from after WWII, with the likes of Mike Procter, Clive Rice, Frank Worrell etc competing with some of the more famous all-rounders of the 1980's. I don't want to turn this into a Miller vs Sobers kind of thread, but I am very interested in hearing how people rate some of the lesser talked about all-rounders. Obviously Rice and Procter didn't have long Test careers for obvious reasons, but in terms of ability and FC performances, how did they compare against those who did get a decent crack at Test level.
Hope that makes sense?
