Was Kallis better than Sobers?

Sobers was versatile with the ball, bowling two styles of spin - left-arm orthodox and wrist spin,

but was also a fine fast-medium opening bowler.

His catching in the leg trap close to the wicket may have been equalled but never surpassed !

Sobers excelled at most athletic activities, playing golf, soccer and bastketball for Barbados :

and made his first class debut at the age of 16, appearing in Tests a year later  !!

He set the Test record for an individual batsman with a mammoth 365 against Pakistan.....

He was knighted for his services to cricket in 1975. 

The year Kallis was  Born ! 

Born October 16, 1975, Pinelands, Cape Town, Cape Province , South Africa

Kallis beeter tha Sobers for Hair Transplant  :-[

Sad to see Kallis go.

He is leaving the international stage in such an understated way.

I just wished he had smiled a bit more.

I would be surprised if he ever features in ODIs South Africa again as their OD schedule is infrequent.

Excellent fielder, could be in the team as a bowler and an imperious batsman. Destructive but well capable of a patient inning.

Really great man.

Good lord Rev.
They played in DIFFERENT ERAS, and statistics is useful, but using it without context is brainless.
I appreciate your obsession with stats, but not everything is quantifiable. Especially different eras and contexts.

Six days TEST match with a rest day in between.

8 balls per over instead of 6

No helmets or arm guards

Travel by Boat instead of Airplane.

Stay at " coloreds" only motels instead of 5 star luxury hotel...

et cetera , et cetera

Some things are just NOT quantifiable ! 

Rev will not understand this..
