Re: What makes an all rounder?????
an allrounder should be a player whose batting average is higher than his bowling average...and in that respect i don't think Kapil Dev makes it to that list
Wannabe allrounders include (or have included): Vettori, Abdul Razzaq, Wasim Akram, Alex Tudor, Bret Lee, Irfan Pathan, Shoaib Malik, Klusener, Brian MacMillan, Chris Harris, etc etc
in present day cricket, a proper allrounder would be:
Kallis, Flintoff...and im sorry to say thats about it...
although world cricket did miss 2 potentially awesome allrounders due to South Africa's ban...Eddie Barlow and Mike Procter
Proper Allrounders are really a rare find...and any team that has a proper allrounder has a distinct advantage over others...
