Greatest with out any doubt
Sir Garfield (Garry) Sobers of the West Indies
Tests ...93
Runs 8032
H/S ...365
Av......57.78
100s' ...26
Wickets 235
average. 34.03 e/r 2.22
best bowling test 6/73
" " " " 1st class 9/49
catches 109
in 2000 Wisden named him one of the top 5 cricketers of th 20th century
His bowling average was a liitle high because he bowled
medium fast, and spin not as effective wicket taker with spin but look at his economy rate
As far as the current crop only really Callis stands out
Frintoff doesnt have enough runs on the board
and Andrew Symonds doesnt have enough test runs or wickets yet

Freddie Flintoff. He has beaten teams like Australia basically off his own bat (and ball). Also an excellent slips fielder.
He's a matchwinner unlike his closest counterparts Kallis and Pollock or whoever else amongst the current crop.
As for history it's hard to go past Sobers, who mastered all parts of the game, which is the ultimate definition of all-rounder.

Obviously Andrew Flintoff of England and he has shown his credential in last ashes series that how influential his performances are in deciding the fate of the match or series whatever.In my opinion best ever all-rounder was Kapildev.

3) Scored 114 runs and took 7 wickets for 48 runs against
India in Mumbai in 1979/80 series

against Australia in Leeds in 1981
5) Scored 138 runs and took 5 wickets for 39 runs against
New Zeland in Wellington in 1983/84
Among the present lot J.H. Kallis of South Africa is the best
allrounder. The following analysis is a testimony for the same:
1) Scored 110 runs and took 5 wickets for 90 runs against
West Indies in Cape Town in 98/99 series.
2) Scored 139 runs and tok 5 wickets for 21 runs against
