The 19th best all-rounder in the world
By Jonathan Liew 2 months ago, 7 Comments »
The latest ICC Test rankings have Huddersfield’s own Ryan Sidebottom in the top 10 for the first time. That’s a mighty fine effort, seeing as he’s only played 13 tests and doesn’t yet qualify for a full rating.
Even more impressive, however, is that LG deem him to be the 19th best all rounder in world cricket. Suck on that, Stuart Broad…
The list goes:
1) Kallis 2) Vettori 3) Flintoff 4) Vaas 5) Bravo 6) Pathan 7) Oram 8. Gayle 9) Kumble 10) Lee 11) Symonds 12) Franklin 13) Sehwag 14) Collingwood 15) Harbhajan 16) Muralitharan 17) Clark 18) Rafique 19) Sidebottom 20) Zaheer
I still maintain that if Anthony McGrath had got a fair crack of the whip he could have been the new Ian Botham. The man averages 40 with the bat and 14 with the ball in Test cricket. Botham averaged 33 and 28 respectively. Reckon we missed out on a potential legend of the game there.
