look at kallis stats

both are legends...thats it

once again

again ?

Lets start with his 200 TEST catches...

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

[size=18pt]THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE[/size]

* Sobers was the better batsman.

* Kallis was the better bowler.

* Both Kallis and Sobers were outstanding catchers.

VERDICT:

* If a team needed a batting allrounder---Sobers would get the nod.

* If a team needs a bowling allrounder---Kallis gets the nod.



REPUTATION:

* Sobers gets the nod.

That 365* TEST record stood for many years until Lara broke it !

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

Kallis definitely.
