Top 5 players from Barbados

#1 Sir Garry Sobers

Sobers scored 8032 runs at an average of 57.78 in Tests

Sir Garfield Sobers is arguably the greatest cricketer to have ever played the game and hence it is not really a problem when it comes to selecting the greatest cricketer to have ever represented Barbados.

Sobers was an outstanding batsman and a superb left arm medium pace bowler. Moreover, he could bowl both left-arm off-spin and chinaman as well, if the pitch offered any assistance. He was also a stunning fielder, the true personification of what an all-rounder was supposed to be.

In 93 Test matches, Sobers scored 8032 runs at an average of 57.78 and slammed 26 centuries in a career spanning two decades (1954-1974). Sobers also broke the record for the highest score in Test cricket when he scored 365 not out against Pakistan in an innings victory back in 1958. That record stood for 36 years, until it was broken by Brian Lara. As a bowler, Sobers didn't do too badly either, claiming 235 wickets at an average of 34.03.
