Re: Geoffrey Boycott rates Imran Khan the BEST
I think Imran Khan has the edge because he was a great leader. Regarding just allrounder abilities go, its very close.
Kapil was a great bowler and a very good batsman.
Hadlee was a great bowler and a decent batsman
Ian Botham was a good bowler and a very good batsman
Imran Khan was a great bowler and a decent batsman.
If you take just take the allrounder abilities, then Kapil may have the edge over the other 3. But Imran's intangible qualities made him the leader of the pact. But still very close. I would rank them:
1.) Imran Khan
2.) Kapil Dev
3.) Ian Botham
4.) Hadlee
