Barbados-born Sobers featured in 93 Tests between 1954 and 1974, amassing 8,032 runs and taking 235 wickets. @57.78 (bat) @34.3 (ball).

Toss up for me as to the all time supreme all rounder.

He's no Flintoff for me. Freddie sits alongside Botham as their greatest ever all-rounder.

Stokes isn’t far from Beefy and Freddy.

He has performed well against us.
