Crickets Great All Rounders
Who was the greatest all-rounder? Ask ten experts and you may receive different answers. But Garry Sobers, Keith Miller, Ian Botham, Imran Khan, Richard Hadlee, Kapil Dev, Richie Benaud, Alan Davidson, Vinoo Mankad, ‘Monty’ Noble, Wasim Akram and Jacques Kallis would make the Top 12 list of most. Cricket’s Great All-Rounders is the first book to profile all-rounders in Tests and in one-day internationals. From the moustached George Giffen of the 1880s and ‘Nugget’ Miller, to ‘Freddie’ Flintoff and the dreadlocked Andrew Symonds of the 2000s, this book is an interesting mix of characters and super performers, adept in batting, bowling and fielding or wicketkeeping. ‘This book includes less-known facts, namely Garry Sobers was born with twelve fingers’. Alan Davidson writes in the Foreword, ‘Kersi’s book made me feel nostalgic, thinking of ‘Nugget’ Miller and my mate Richie Benaud. To me ‘Nugget’, Garry Sobers and Ian Botham were the greatest all-rounders. Kersi has brought their and other all-rounders’ mighty deeds to life.’The Golden Age of All-Rounders Top Test All-Rounders Wicket-keeping Test All-Rounders One-Day International All-Rounders Snippets and Statistics
