Top 5 left-arm seam all-rounders of all time

#3 Trevor Goddard

Goddard was an extremely underrated performer for South Africa

Despite their relatively shorter history (induced by the Apartheid Era) when compared to the other giants of the game, South Africa have produced some of the best all-rounders in the history of cricket. While the likes of Aubrey Faulkner, Mike Procter, Jacques Kallis, Shaun Pollock and Lance Klusener are all popular names, the unheralded Trevor Goddard usually slips by unnoticed during discussions pertaining to the great all-rounders from the Rainbow Nation.

In a career spanning from 1955 to 1970, Goddard played 41 Tests and played an instrumental role in shaping South Africa's early destiny. His sparkling capacity to swing the new ball fetched him 123 scalps at an average of 26.22 and economy-rate of 1.64 with 5 five-wicket hauls. An opening batsman in the classical mould, the left-hander also amassed 2516 runs at an average of 34.46 with a century and 18 fifties.
