No one can argue that Bradman was the best batsman of all time.
Similarly, Garfield Sobers was the greatest CRICKETER (batsman + bowler + fielder) of all time!
The highest praises for this guy comes not from his countrymen but his opponents who had to face him.........this is the true measure of one's worth on the field.
He is the only all-rounder chosen on the Wisden 5 cricketers of the Century by an international selection panel and he was second only to Bradman in the voting.
he is the greatest cricketer .. no one... even sachin or bradman cannot have the luxury of being called the greatest cricketer...he could bat anywhere at any position, bowl spin, medium pace, fast..anything... truly the greatest...perhaps the only 2 things he never did on the cricket field was wicketkeeping and umpiring..
@nottsmanjason What do you think of Jacques Kallis?, considering his and Sober's test statistics are pretty much identical, yet he doesnt get nearly as much appreciation as Sober's.
When your opponents rate you then you know you are decent
