Who is spoken of by many as the best all rounder of all time?


Who is spoken of by many as the best all rounder of all time?

Sir Garfield Sobers of West Indies is one of the greatest players cricket has seen and referred to by many as the best all rounder of all time. In 93 Test matches Sobers has scored 8032 runs at an average of 54.87. He has also taken 235 Test Wickets.


Sobers began his career as a slow left-arm bowler. His Test career started in 1953 – 54. The highlight of it was the 365 not out against Pakistan in 1957 – 58. This remained a world record for several years. Sober’s total of 8032 runs also was a world record for some years. Sobers led West Indies in 39 Tests.
