Asia-PacificSportsHigh confidence — 76/100

Widely recognised as the game's greatest all-rounder, Sobers — who died recently at the age of 89 — scored 8,032 runs at an average of almost 58, claimed 235 wickets and snared 109 catches in his 93 Test matches for the West Indies.
But even by the time he was recruited by South Australia, as a 25-year-old in 1961, his talent was already indisputable.
