    The order is ridiculous. The top six without a doubt have got to be Sobers, Kallis, Botham, Kapil, Imran and Hadlee. They are the greatest ever allrounders. Way after them come the others. Flintoff before Kapil and Jadeja before Hadlee has got to be a joke. In fact Jadeja shouldn’t even be on the list.

      Sobers was really a batsman who could bowl a bit. He would never had been in a team as a bowler. As his bowling average and strike rate proves. Jacque Kallis should be number one. Ian Botham a genuine all rounder, who won test matches with bat and ball. Kapel Dev should certainly not be ahead. Bradman only played in Australia and England. I wonder what his batting average would have been, if he had played on the sub continent. Or West Indies and South Africa.

      Generally, an all-rounder is considered to be one who is world class in one field and not below the average category in another field. So a batting all-rounder should have three wickets plus per Test match and a bowling average of around 29 to 30 which is that of an average bowler. And a bowling all-rounder should have a batting average of around 32 to 35 which is that of an average batsman.

      On What Count! He has a strike rate lower than IK in bowling, Captaincy records way Superior to Kapil, more away wins as Captain abroad, and more series wins abroad, way way better Bowling average than Kapil despite Khan being crap last couple of years.....Not much batting average difference,

    First of if one is not capable of being selected in the only on the basis of his bowling he is not an all rounder at all. Gary sobers and jack kallis cannot be chosen in their teams only for bowling hence they were not all rounders they were just great batsmen and support bowlers.

      Imran was a better batsman than Kapil and a much better bowler. Kapil played for a long time and stayed injury free, but was at best a workhorse / stock bowler. Imran was a killer, and was the best bowler in the world for a large part of the 80's, in addition to being a very good batsman mostly in the latter half of the 80's.

      Don't count the quantity and you should count only quality. Just like Bumrah whose bowling average better than Kapil dev but number of wickets much lesser. And I consider Bumrah is the best bowler of Indian Cricket history. I hope you got my point dear brother.

    Heavily weighted in favour of batters who could bowl rather than bowlers who could bat... Order should be:
    1. Khan
    Miller
    Sobers
    Kallis
    Hadley
    Hard to compare the two types of allrounders, Hadley the best of these as a bowler whilst Kallis the best with the bat but Khan would have made the side on the strength of solely his batting and his bowling makes him the best. Likewise Miller hence why second. The rest were either selected for their batting or bowling but more than useful with the other. Sobers is a hard one, easily the most accomplished sportsman ever in Cricket, could do it all. Hos bowling average at 34 means however he would have been less likely picked just for his bowling.

      if you can show me a better all round record than kallis I'll agree
      batting average of Tendulkar bowling average of zaahir ad those sublime slip cordon catches those countless nicks off the bowling from the likes of Donald Pollock Ntini Steyn Morkel to mention a few
      He could open the bowling for many countries in South Africa it would always be hard as there are Pacers aplenty
