A pretty difficult question to answer,specially since they played in different eras. Both were the best allrounders of their respective eras, but it's nearly impossible to compare them.
My vote is for Kallis though, just because I have only seen him play

Sobers was a cricketer extraordinaire and in our lifetime there will never be another one like him.
Numbers in this case and in a direct contradiction to the Rev re .. numbers don't lie .... well in this case at least , it does not tell the whole story
