Chi Nadim chi!! Tumi tomar eklar nak kato nai. Amader shobar nak katso ei ekta post'r moddhey. Cannot expect a post like this from the highest poster of BC. You should have weight on your posts.
Ignorance cannot be an excuse. By the way, Sobers wouldn't have any problem playing in today's 20 over matches. He is the one who scored 6 sixes in an over of a test match.
To those who played against and with him, for many he is even better than Bradman and a complete cricketer. Do you know the significance of that comment? Comprende Bro (son)?
Many years after retiring Bradman himself included only one player in his ultimate test XI from a different era. That was Sobers.

Sobers were included in to the WI test squad as a fast bowler at the age of 17. He bowled SLA and Chinaman as well later down his career depending on the pitch but primarily he was a pacer. At the age of 21 he scored a triple hundred.
Before Gayle destroyed opponent bowlers overseas domestic cricket and ENTERTAINED the fans, Sobers did so for South Australia and in the county as well. I mentioned Gayle cause you would know him since you follow BigBash, BPL, IPL etc.
There are elite alrounders (Imran, Botham, Hadlee, Kapil) and there is Sobers. The gap in between them is huge. Kallis, Shakib, Watson needs to win something big or
hold a worthy world record to even get to the elite.
