Apples and Oranges

One thing is quite evident, all-rounders
are unfairly measured by most methods. Among the
10 greatest cricketers that ever played there
have to be 4 all rounders - Sobers, Imran, Botham
and Kapil. Now if we look at the differential
between batting and bowling averages then I suspect
Miller and Alan Davidson might also have a great
case. Bradman is a given. Well, lets see what my
2 minute 10 greatest cricketers list is...
1. Bradman
2. Sobers
3. Imran
4. Gavaskar
5. Botham
6. Kapil
7. Hadlee
8. Viva Richards
9. Miandad
10. Border

Anyone I missed?????:===))))

Miandad has to rate one of the top ten batsmen
of all time, and Imran must be among the top 10
cricketers of all time. No list, no matter
how skewed towards one nation, era, etc., can
do without these two ingredients.
