Who is the greatest cricketer of all-time?
« on: December 11, 2006, 07:03:55 AM »
My mate keeps on asking me if I reckon Shane Warne is the greatest cricketer of all-time. For me Sir Gary Sobers is the greatest simply because I do not believe there will be a cricketer like him again. A batsman they say just like Brian Lara, one of the best left-arm seam bowlers, could bowl china-man and also was a very good fielder. He defines the word all-rounder, he could do everything.

Sir Garfield Sobers, world renound fielder, batsman and spinner, medium pacer and paceman, as the cricket show has stated with tony greig, chappelle and holding, sobers was and is the greatest all-rounder in the history of the game, even chappelle would pick sobers over bradman, he said it himself..  :beermug:

I agree that the greatest cricketer of all time has to be an all rounder, somebody that was both a world class batsman and a world class bowler but i dont really comment on players ive never seen enough of to judge so i cant say on this one. But Sobers does seem to be the obvious choice when going for a world class all rounder going on expert opinion and statistics.

Supa, you real miss something in Sobers..de best all rounder. 
I played with a guy in Edmonton, born in Guyana, who reminded me of Sobers in everyway. he even played for Canada in cricket.
