Tom Harkness
'My heart says that the title is a fight between Miller, early Botham and late Imran. I think a true allrounder needs to be a match winner in all disciplines, and whilst Sobers is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) players of all time, I put him in the Kallis mould: a fantastic batsman and a capable, but not a match-winning bowler'
Adnan Alavi
'Glamour in cricket came with Imran and almost went with his departure. He is an icon, and cannot be compared with anyone else'
Raja Mohandes
'It irks me to see people vote for Wasim Akram. While he is surely one of the best bowlers of all time, it is ridiculous to call him an allrounder'

Stats analysis, edition 5
In the field
Cricinfo staff
April 23, 2007
In the final installment of our analysis of the greatest allrounders we take a look at the often ignored factor of fielding. When great players are remembered it tends to be for their feats with bat, ball or gloves. But how good were these allrounders when they were prowling the field?
