West Indies ODI World Cup stats

Kanhai faced 60 overs ODI

and 8 balls per over against the mighty Australia  ::LOL::

Yeah, but he got to fly to Australia on a plane. That aint real cricket.

Real cricket is steamships and unlimited Test days.

Sobers was only five when his father died at sea in January 1942,

after his ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat..

That is why he and Kanhai took a plane 

Meanwhile, Chanderpaul swims to each test match.

I don't think Kanhai gets overlooked. I think it's more that most folks who think of WI cricket today remember from Lloyd's side onwards. Sobers is remembered because he is still considered the greatest all rounder to play the game.

You only have to look at the number of persons who named their son Rohan to know how much Kanhai was known and loved in the Caribbean.

I will agree that most folks who think of that world cup final only remember Lloyd"s knock.

Despite Kanhai not having a 50 test average I don't think you will find anyone arguing against his greatness.
