I want him to take that to a bit more higher.

 

In first half I remember he would often bat below Ashwin. Ashwin for a short while batted at 6, Saha at 7 and Jadeja coming at 8. 

 

As a result, Jadeja ended with quite a few not outs but not enough runs. He certainly had the batting talent as he had scored triple tons in domestic. But it took him a while before he came into his own. During early part of his career, he was laughed off and trolled for not being good enough in both the facets- batting or bowling. His test bowling went underrated as a result.

yes, he was always a capable bowler. if anything, he was better in the middle part of his career than his early/current part of his career.

Imran Khan for most part of his career was a bowler who could bat and he was nowhere near Botham or Kapil dev as a batsman.He was your classic number 8 just like Warne.Beefy was an upgrade over Stokes just he was too lazy to work on his game and became fat.

 

Best allrounder to me is Kallis , followed by Botham.  Kallis and Botham were excellent slip fielders also.

 

I would put Jadeja over Kapil, Imran and Hadlee. Ashwin would be close to all these players but his batting regressed from his early days.
