[Plum]

His bowling is never in the league of Botham, Hadlee, Imran and Kapil, forget Sobers: actually, Sobers' bowling itself is below Imran and Hadlee, possibly Botham I guess. As an all-rounder, I'd take Botham or Imran any day over him, let alone Sobers. All-round skills are a bit smokescreen - he wouldn't make the team on bowling skills alone for most of his career. Not just minnow basher - any bad ball he'll punish. Even if Dale Steyn bowls 5 snorters and the sixth one a loose ball, he'll cash in. This is his strength - we love SRT, BCL, even RTP mainyl because they can make good balls look bad. This is what is lacking in him - what annoys is he willl never miss out on minnows or bad balls
