Thanjk you.

Well deserved, although I'm not big on him as a pundit. He talks a lot of **** and I wouldn't want him to have anything to do with the England set-up.
He's also joined the "I know I'm English but I'm going to pretend I'm Australian" bandwagon. He says "caaaan't" instead of 'can't' and he replaces t's with d's.
If you ask me, that''s the behaviour of a dosser and a dwad.
Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

So, he was an outstanding cricketer, the best all rounder from a generation of all rounders (Hadlee, Dev, Khan), has worked tirelessly for charities for many years raising over £10m and during which time the survival rate for Leukaemia in this country has gone from 20% to 80%.
Yeah, its a pretty undeserving award isn't it....:whatever:

Imran Khan was the best ever allrounder. FACT.

I think Imran wins this round.
ODI
BATTING:
IK averaged 33.41 with 1 century in 175 matches (151 innings). Scoring rate 72.64
Beefy averaged 23.22 with ZERO centuries in 1160 matches (106 innings). Scoring rate 79.26
BOWLING:
IK averaged 26.62 and a total of 182 wickets. Strike rate 40.99

Imran Khan WAS the greatest allrounder ever and should have been Knighted a long time ago. Don't forget that Imran was out injured for a few years at the peak of his career.
All credit to Beefy, he fully deserves his honour and was a great player, but not as good as Immy.
