#2 Sir Garfield Sobers
The greatest all rounder of all time, Sir Garfield Sobers would have been a great addition for West Indies in the T20 format. Though Sobers played only 1 ODI, his aggressive batting in Tests is enough to prove his destructive approach.
His exceptional Test batting average tells very little about the manner in which he scored his runs which was marked by elegant yet powerful strokeplay. He had every shot in the cricketing book up his sleeve but was more dominant on the off side. He would have made the Test team as a bowler alone. He was a versatile spinner bowling two kinds of spin up his sleeve. The traditional left arm orthodox as well as wrist spin.Sobers scored his maiden century against Pakistan in 1958 and expanded it to 365 beating Len Hutton’s 364 set in 1938. It was a terrific innings by the legend after he failed to realise his potential in the first few matches of his career.
Sobers played 93 Test in his career scoring 8,032 runs at a staggering average of 57.78.
