Garfield Sobers, cricket's greatest all rounder




Sir Garfield Sobers is without a doubt the greatest all rounder cricket ever saw. In 93 cricket tests, he scored 8032 runs at an average of 57.78 with a highest score of 365 which was a then world record. He also took 235 test wickets at an average of 34.03. He bowled different styles - fast-medium, slow orthodox, and chinaman were part of his repertoire.
