~i-rrepressible ,..I-an botham's
record says it all .

The first to score a century and take 10 wickets in the same Test match.
He scored a century and took 5 wickets in an innings in the same Test match on 5 occasions;

Out of all the names listed, Imran Khan is the only one who could have made an international team as a batsman, or a bowlers.
Botham would have been neither, Akram wasn't a batsman, Sobers wasn't that great with the ball (great batsman, one of the best)
You guys could have at least mentioned Sir Richard Hadlee.
I gotta say Khan, for the reason of he was the best all rounder, he had both top line batting and bowling talent.

According to me,Imran khan is the best.He is one of the finest all rounders .He led pakistan in 1992world cup and pakistan won the world cup mostly because of his skills and thinking.He achieved the "All-rounder's triple" (3000 runs and 300 wickets) in 75 tests, the second fewest behind Botham's 72, though statistically and qualitatively Imran is superior to Botham in every aspect of the game .Imran Khan always led from the front and "five of Imran's six Test hundreds and 14 of his 18 fifties came in 48 Tests as captain . His average during that time was 52.34, higher than the averages of Ian Chappell, Clive Lloyd, Steve Waugh, Gavaskar and Javed Miandad...Imran averaged 20.26 with the ball and four of his six ten-wicket hauls came as captain..

Ian Botham was the greatest allrounder in the history of cricket.
hE holds a number of Test records as an all-rounder, including being the fastest (in terms of matches) to achieve the "doubles" of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets, 2,000 runs and 200 wickets, and 3,000 runs and 300 wickets.
He was the first player to score 5,000 runs and take 300 Test wickets, and the first to score a century and take 10 wickets in the same Test match. He scored a century and took 5 wickets in an innings in the same Test match on 5 occasions; no-one else has managed this feat more than twice.
During the 1981 Ashes (see below), he set a record of six sixes in a single Ashes Test Match at Old Trafford. That record remained unbroken until the 7th August 2005 when Andrew Flintoff scored five in the first innings and four in the second innings of the second Test at Edgbaston, and again until the 12th September 2005, when Kevin Pietersen hit seven sixes in the second innings of the last Test at The Oval.

Garfield Sobers. He made his test debut as a specialist slow left armer (batting at number nine), but he also went on to score the highest ever individual test score (at that time) with a batting average close to 60. Apart from orthodox left arm finger spin, he also bowled the chinaman and the googly. He could also bowl fast enough to open the bowling for the WIndies. He was also an excellent fielder.

None of the above
Sir Garfield Sobers
When the cricket board vote Sir Don got 100% of votes for best cricketer and sir Garfield Sober Got about 97% of the votes. their was a big gap for third.
