To rank the best out of them is most certainly not the easiest job in the world to do but still if I am asked to pick one from them, then I will most definitely go for Wasim Akram. The main reason being that there is no match to experience. A man with over 300 ODIs and around 100 tests, he is the only man to take more than 400 wickets in both forms of cricket. Bowling is his main strength but now he is just following his "guru" (teacher) Imran Khan who also was a great great bowler but at the end of his career had improved his batting so much that he could easily have played in the Pakistani team due to his batting. The same implies to Wasim
Second one, Zulu (Lance Klusener), person who almost took South Africa to World Cup final in the 1999 World Cup. He won the player of tournament award in the last world cup and I think that no one can forget the two fours he struck to Fleming of the first two balls of the last over when South Africa needed only 9 to win. The second one being a very special one as I simply have not seen any ball go to the fence more quicker than that one. His contributions with bat and ball for South Africa are simply massive.
Abdul Razzaq is also a very successful and promising young all-rounder who paved his way in the Pakistani team in the World Cup 99 and since then he has been one of the most important member of Pakistani team. He has taken more wickets than anyone in this season. He also won the Man of the Tournament award in United & Carltron series in Australia that featured Pakistan, Australia and India.
Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock have been two very successful all-rounders for South African team. Shaun is now the captain of side and is about to take most wickets in ODIs for South Africa. He is also a very useful lower order batsman and has played some really good knocks. Kallis is an excellent swing bowler, with broad shoulders and is considered as one the most technically correct batsman in the world of cricket.
