Gary Sobers played a few seasons of Shield cricket in Australia and achieved something no one else did up to that point (not even the greats Miller). He scored over 1000 runs and took 50 wkts in a season twice. This is known as the all rounders double. He almost did it thrice but narrowly missed out. Also, Sir Gary could field anywhere, bowl any style and scored 100s from 1 to 7 in the batting lineup. Best all round player ever!!!

Same can be said about Sobers and Kallis if we talk from batting point of view that they were and are amongst the best of all time and certainly ahead of Imran in that department.

It’s a debate between him and Sobers. Some may argue Khan too

As an Australian I believe that Kallis is the best all rounder that cricket has seen to date. However that is subjective as I watched his career through modern media yet never saw Sobers or his impact on the game played at that time. This list is subjective to our own nationalities, age, opinions and perspective however I can not fault it and trying to select the final ten would be incredibly challenging. Kudos to you Too Sporty

No he didn’t and watched those players however his skill and talent would have meant that he still would be a great all rounder. It’s not like there wasn’t decent bowlers and bowling attacks during the time he played his career, yet he performed well against them.

I think you undersell the man. 292 test wickets at an average of around 32.5 and a batting average of over 50 in test matches. So as an all rounder his strength was as a batsman whilst still being an effective bowler, not necessarily the best bowler but someone who’d tie an end up whilst as a captain you could rotate and rest your strike bowlers. That is an unfortunate reality for many all rounders that they either are used as break for the main bowlers or from a batting perspective try to hold the tail together and score as many useful runs as possible. Kallis made plenty of runs at an average most top line batsmen would be happy with yet still produced the goods as a bowler, plus was a very good fielder with 200 test catches.

What the hell..you put disgusting actor instead of great Kapil paaji.. it's not fair...

Yes I played the game at a pretty high level. Do note that no other sources that made top 10 all rounder list mentioned Wasim

My ratings ( all formats combined) 1. Jaques Kallis ( brilliant stats & longevity in both formats) 2. Gary Sobers ( though only played 1 format, would rate him highly based on how a lot of experts rate him) 3. Shaun Pollock ( widely under rated, great stats in both formats, was an ATG bowler in both formats) 4. Kapil Dev( his stats need to be evaluated based on the adversities he had to cope with) 5. Ian Botham 6. Imran Khan( was once a 29.5 averaging bowler mid way. But soon he started to average in digits due to ball tampering) ( other wise would have placed him at 3) 7.Richard Hadlee 8. Shakib 9. Chris Cairns 10. Keith Miller

I like your list but I think the Imran Khan ball tampering theory is a bit harsh. The dude was an absolute magician with the ball and though there are allegations, you can’t really say that he tampered with the ball for every single game that he falls below Dev and Botham. Cos under that theory, that would mean Wasim also can’t be in the top 5 greatest bowlers of all time

@@jimmymann1496 yeah.. just as you pointed , I don't rate any PAK bowler in the levels that I once used to rate them. There has to be stability in thoughts .isn't it? Imran was accused by many cricket analysts including his own country men of the same thing. When atleast 15 or 16 people who know me and vice versa accuse me of some thing , then there has to be lots of credibility in that .Isn't it?

As far as a complete all rounder is concerned, someone who opened the bowling attack as the main strike bowler and someone who would also play as a front line batsman in the top 5 Imran Khan is the only name. Add to that his phenomenal record against arguably the greatest Test team of all time the West Indies and his credentials as a captain as a leader of his young team. He never lost a series against them as a captain and not just that but was the top performer in the tightly fought and highly competitive away drawn series against them in 1988. Also was the top performer in the 1982 and 87-88 test series against the English and his series returns against Arch rivals India in the 1982-83 series are stuff that ppl can only dream of. If it wasn't for his mediocre early career of 30+ tests he would have been Unarguably the best all rounder of all time. I still rate him as the most complete all rounder and certainly above Kallis.

Honestly I kind of have to agree with you. The fact he averaged 50 with the bat in his last 51 tests as well as being on of the greatest bowlers ever just shows he was the real kind of a complete all rounder. I know he’s not #1 on this list, but tbh, he would be in my all time XI
