Yeah the subject who is the best Test Cricket All-rounder of the World Test Cricket Arena and to have discussion the theme reaches at the sky height that who is the biggest all-rounder of the Test Cricketer. And the experts have adjudged Sir Garfield Soberse as the biggest all-rounder .But some critics and fans have different opinion about ‘The biggest genuine all-rounder of the Test Arena’ . Yeah Garry Soberse, Jack Kallis, Ian Bothom, Richard Hadlee,Richie Banaud, Imran Khan ,Kapil Dev,Vinu Mankad,
Mustaq Mohammed, Shane Pollock, Ray
llingsworth are some rocking figures in the field of All-rounders .
Yeah the World Cricket have seen many all-rounders since 1877 to 2021. And some ones are established as the greatest . If see from the beginning of the game 1877 then names of some all-rounders echoed and buzzed a lot yeah Ullyett ,JJ Ferris , W Armstrong ,Jack Gregory , G Giffen, Wilfred Rhodes ,Alan Davidson, Keith Miller,R Lindwal,R Banaud, Steve Waugh, C Cairans,R Hadlee,A Flintoff, Ben Stroke , Angelo Mathews, Imran Khan ,Mustaq Mohammed ,Asif Iqbal,Saeed Afridi, Lala Amarnath ,
Mohinder Amarnath, Vinu Mankad, Ramakant Desai,Dattu Phdkar Saleem Durrani, Ravi Shastri , Kapil Dev,Shane Pollack , Gerry Soberse
,Larry Constantine , Collin Smith,Carl Hooper, Sanath Jaysurya,Ian Bothom,Tony Greig, Wally Hammond , Shakib Al Hasan, Jack Kallis, Abruay Faulkner ,etc.
Yeah in these all-rounders considered as the great, greater and the greatest . Yes if rank them then it is very tough job and difficult to name as the undisputed all-rounder or unanimous name . It is so because all the all-rounders represented different nation, different class ,
cadre and potential and played in the different era , atmosphere and wickets. But despite all the cricket pandits,experts ,
critics , statisticians, academicians, commentators,
seniors and fans do have the passion of rivalry have discussed and evaluated to have their stand and opine. And generally cricket fraternity have stamped on the name of Garry Soberse. But the era 1990 to 2010 the cricketing world seen Jack Kallis and became the closest rival in the comparison to Garry Soberse . And to compare the statistics and class Jack Kallis rest neck to neck ,head to head in the rivalry race . But these two giants are the Batting-bowling All-rounders. Yeah the four all time great all-rounders of 80s Imran Khan,Ian Hothon,Richard Hadlee depicted or scripted history in the world of cricket All-rounder Arena. But these four are Bowling -batting All-rounder . So the world still talk on the genuine all-rounder . Yeah Vinu Mankad,Keith Miller , Mustaq Mohammed ,Ruchie Banaud ,W Armstrong ,C Cairns ,A Flintoff are great all rounders but all are bowling dominant figures . So the question still laughs who is the genuine all-rounder who is master equally in the field of batting ,bowling and also fielding . Yes Ben Stroke and Abruay Faulkner are the figures who are all-rounder who have controll equally over their batting and bowling in the statistics concerned . But on this scale mr AF stands higher because in batting regards his batting average is plus 40 and in batting department his bowling average is 26. So can say he had command equally in both the fields . And can be said genuine all-rounder yeah Batting #=#Bowling
All-rounder and that’s why deserve the highest ranked as the genuine all-rounder of the cricket world . Imran Khan and Kieth Miller are too big all-rounders but bowling department was their dominant job and as the batsman not like G Soberse and Jack Kallis.Yeah Mustaq Mohammad from Pakistan was also a big all-rounder but his figures are not equall yes in batting he seems rather emphatic than the spin bowling .Yeah as the all-rounder Ian Bothom’s statistics seems good but for a genuine cricket all-rounder 50 plus batting average and under 25 bowling average must be then the cricketer can be stamped as the unanimous and undisputed all-rounder .
And in this sense and frame A Faulkner is the best all whose batting average is 40 plus and bowling average is under 27. So with the end I beptise Mr Abruay Faulkner as the most balanced All-rounder of the World of Cricket.
