Best all rounder at the moment

[Mr Eintstein]

:fail:

but he scored 80 against the worlds most talented bowling attack!! :protest:

[Mr Eintstein]

Countrywise India : Yuvi, Jadeja Aus : Watson,but against pakistan(White,ponting,johnson,hauritz,clarke,warner,mckay,bollinger,ryan harris,and co......incl. the coach tim nielsen are all world class all rounders). SAF : Kallis, Van Der Merwe Windie : Bravo, Pollard NZ : Vettori, Styris Eng : Wright,Collingwood Pak : All :fail: to qualify Bang : not bothered to includ any :D SL : Jayasuriya But if i have to pick some it ll be Kallis, Vettori, Watson, Bravo and Collingwood. Kallis is the perfect choice, Bravo, Watson and Vettori are very fine all rounders, pollard as a batting all rounder but not quite effective bowler, same goes with Paul collingwood.Still due to his strong batting Colly will bviously come ahead of Pollard. Yuvraj if he improves his bowling under non turning conditions will be a far better choice tha nBravo and Watson

pollard hasn't done anything of note with the bat OR ball yet (domestic 2020s do NOT count), he shouldn't be listed. though i do have high hopes for him.

For Tests - Vettori (specialist spinner, dependable with the bat) For ODIs - Watson (good batsman and useful bowler) For T20s - Afridi (good bowler, explosive batsman on his day) Overall: Vettori Overall based on current form: Watson

vettori ? his ODI batting average is 16,50 and you think he is the best ? currently watson is the best in odi , then the others : shakib,yuvraj, vettori etc

No one mentioned Angelo Matthews? :hmmm:

Grame Swann anyone? He has a higher average than Shakib and Vettori also a better bowling average than both. Interesting I just noticed today.

this is what I wrote:

I thought that's self explanatory (read the ODI column too) :winky: And people like me do give more weightage to tests (along with performances over a longer time span), where Vettori since 1 Jan 2007 and in his last 25 tests:

Career averages    	Span  	Mat  	Runs  	HS  	Bat Av  	100  	Wkts  	BBI  	Bowl Av  	5  	Ct  	St  	
unfiltered 	1997-2010 	98 	3802 	140 	30.41 	5 	318 	7/87 	33.61 	18 	55 	0 	Profile
filtered 	2007-2010 	25 	1552 	140 	43.11 	3 	89 	6/56 	31.87 	5 	19 	0 	

in short: Since 1 Jan 2007 in 25T ----> 1552 runs @ 43.1, 89 wkts @ 31.8

yes mate you are right in test vettori , kallis , watson and swann are the best , then shakib is at the beginning of his career but in odi : waston is the best by a mile

No one mentioned Angelo Matthews? :hmmm:

He's making his way up there. I think he can be considered after some more cricket and does he play Test matches?

[Lord]

he does,he was thier best bowler v India:hehe:

Kallis is the best of this generation of all rounders, if you are looking at current form Watson or Vettori, at the end of their careers will they be on par with kallis, probably not.
