Sir Richard Hadlee is the best bowler among the 4 allrounders-86 tests - 431 wickets-a great economy record-first bowler to get 400+ wickets------ease with which he used to get wickets coming from a country where there were no many fast bowlers.
i think Imran khan was as good a bowler as Hadlee if not better. He played for quite sometime as a specialist batsman due to his injury and ofcourse he played on batting friendly pitches while hadlee played mostly on pitches that favourd seamers.
He suffered by not having anything remotely test match standard at the other end in Test cricket. Botham had Willis, Imran had Sarfraz and later on Akram and Lillee had Thommo or a couple of others later in his career
He his in my World XI of All time. 1 WG Grace ENGLAND 2 Gary Sobers West Indies 3 Donald Bradman Australia 4 Viv Richards West Indies 5 Jacque Kallis South Africa 6 sachen Tendulkar India 7 Adam Gilchrest Australia 8 kapil Dev India 9 Shane Warne Australia 10 Wasim Akram Pakistan 11 Richard Hadlee New Zealand 12th man Ian Botham England. To leave out alot crickets was hard but the statistics of these players say it all.
By far and away New Zealand best Cricketer Sir Richard Hadlee and he was in that 1985/86 team that came to Australia and Won and in opinion is in the best New Zealand team I've seen with the Crowe Brothers Mark Greatbach,Petal,Snedden,Ian Smith,Carnis,Ewen Chatfield and they went on to be great side for years and Won until that drawn test against Australia at MCG in 87/88 when Mike Whitney had to block out a whole over against Richard Hadlee that was Allan Borders first Seires win as Captain of Australia when he took over the Captaincy from Kym Hughes and Australia went on to be a very successful side from then up until ricky pointing tour of England in 2005. But this is about Sir Richard Hadlee one of the best all rounders of all time and New Zealand best by far.

As smooth as silk, that run up and action. A thing of beauty.
Big up sir Richard hadlee you was so great
Fantastic piece of NZ cricket history. Loved watching him play.

Can u imagine Hadlee opening with Trent Bolt. Southee first change. They would rattle through most teams.

Richard Hadlee called in as an injury replacement for Willie Watson. Love it!
Lol... Willie who?

If he was only in the team now.. They would murder everyone.
Beutifull bowling action
Poetry in motion.
where did this interview take place ? Any idea ??
At Lords in 1990 his last test against England.
He was a fast bowler who could bat well. But topmost cricketers said "Facing Hadlee was like getting interrogated by a cop",
A great champion and one of my cricketing hero's but jeez, the personality of a pumpkin
Very single-minded, similar to Boycott actually . Did he even mention any other Notts players apart from a brief mention of Clive Rice.
This is a RH career retrospective, and you are complaining that there is too much RH?
