Greatest all-rounders of all time in Tests

#5 Tony Greig

A legendary English player who younger generations remember as the South African-born commentator, currently residing in Australia and is part of the Channel Nine commentary team, Tony Greig's post-retirement stint eclipsed his playing days. For those of who remember him as a player would agree to his fine all-rounding skills. He played 58 tests for England during 1970s and was more of a batting all-rounder averaging more than 40.43, having 8 centuries and 20 half-centuries to his name.

Very few players can double up both bowling styles of medium pace and right arm off-break at a Test-match level and Greig claims his spot in this club. He picked up 141 wickets at 32.20 including six five-wicket hauls and 2 ten wicket hauls in his career.

As a batsman, he could stand up to the attacks of the world's then fastest bowlers like Michael Holding, Dennis Lillee and at the same time a class player of the spin. He went on to score his test hundreds in fields like Bombay, Brisbane and Bridgetown against the likes of Roberts and Holding, Bedi and Chandra. One of the few batsmen who averaged better in away conditions than at home grounds. He had a career spanned over 1972 until 1977 which sees him slide lower on the list.
