and that innings was against England and heir bowling attack was John Snow, David Brown and Jeff Jones..2 right handers and left arm Jones..one of the best, varied and fastest ever of English attacks.

John Snow is among the best ever English fast bowlers

When taking all the extenuating circumstances into consideration , it goes without saying that all the achievements by players during the Sobers era were superior to the present time.
Those extenuating circumstances  are namely .. lack of protective gear , uncovered pitches , unlimited  bouncers  and in the case of Sobers and the windies team , racially biased umpiring , the only conclusion that one can come to is that Sobers was light years above any other all rounder in the past or present.
Number therefore are meaningless if it to used to compare Sobers to anyone else and while you may claim that numbers dont lie , it does not in fact tells the whole story.
Sobers .. greatest all rounder , greatest cricketer ever .

Apologies Sir Mr. Chairman,

I too think getting the spelling wrong is disrespectful. I apologise for getting it wrong...

He is the greatest and he is bowing out as such.

Ian botham Kapil and Imran come close to him in terms of bravado or sheer arrogance or on cricketing skills, Richard Hadlee did not do much with bats so I would not consider him up there at all. But above all, Sir Gary stands. Kallis..not even close.

and Rev while we are at  it ,  why don't you equalize the the number of games that Sobers played  to that of Kallis  and then extrapolate  Sobers numbers  , using his batting and bowling averages and see what you will arrive at in comparison with Kallis.
  You being the numbers guy.
You will find that Sobers aggregate in runs and wickets  would be higher and with a higher batting average than that of Kallis

LanceKraigg’s time is up. He has never truly moved on as a player. Despite being captain and senior batsmen we will lose nothing with investing in a rookie.

He has given his service as an honest and wholehearted performer and would leave with my heartfelt thanks for his contribution.
