Top 5 all-rounders from West Indies in Tests

#1 Sir Garry Sobers

Garry Sobers is regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders of all-time

What can be said about this legend that has not been said before? Considered as possibly the greatest all-rounder of all time, Garry Sobers defined pure class with the bat in hand or the ball. Sobers made his first-class debut for the Barbados cricket team at the age of 16 in 1953, and made his Test debut for the West Indies the following year. Sobers was once described as a 'five-in-one cricketer' by Sir Donald Bradman himself.

In 1957-58, he established a record in Test (international) cricket by scoring 365 runs against Pakistan, the highest score in a single innings. That record remained unbeaten till 1994 when another West Indian, Brian Lara, broke the record. Sobers had an incredible batting average of 57.78.

He was a cunning bowler who could bowl in any plausible style varying from medium pace to left arm spin and took 235 wickets at an average of 34.03.

Sobers had an outstanding career of 93 Tests, in which he scored 8032 runs, with 30 fifties and 26 hundreds. He also led the West Indies cricket team from 1965 to 1972.
