West Indies Cricket: Greatest Test XI of all time

#3 All-rounder & Wicket-keeper

Garry Sobers is the most versatile cricketer in the history of the sport

Interestingly, West Indies have not quite produced as many prolific all-rounders as they would have liked. While the options may be scarce to choose from, the Caribbean region has provided world cricket with arguably the greatest all-rounder of all time. Sir Garry Sobers was truly a once-in-a-lifetime cricketer. Aside from hammering 8032 runs from 93 Tests at a remarkable average of 57.78 with 26 centuries and 30 fifties, he also picked 235 wickets at an average of 34.03 with six five-wicket hauls.

The art of wicket-keeping is one of the most underrated facets in cricket. Even as the lethal fast bowlers may have garnered the limelight during West Indies' golden era, the contributions of Jeffrey Dujon cannot be understated. 267 catches (and five stumpings) from 81 Tests stand as testament to his ability to keep pace with those feared speedsters. As evidenced by a tally of 3322 runs at an average of 31.94 with 5 centuries and 16 fifties, he was a solid batsman lower down the order.
