Even rarer still is a true all-rounder, someone who is equally adept with both the bat and ball and has the ability to make a team as either a bowler or a batter. 

It is these players that go down as being truly great, truly memorable. This list tries to capture the 10 players who were or were closest to being the greatest true all-rounders in cricket's history.
