Where does Kallis stand in your list of TOP-5 allrounders?

[Temujin Khaghan]

for me, considering all the below players are at their peak and I have to arrange them in order of usefulness both with the ball and the bat in Test cricket. Botham>Sobers>Khan>Kallis>Dev

[renjith]

Botham>Sobers?????

[Temujin Khaghan]

Botham>Sobers?????

one their best day, botham is my personal preference. but ofcourse Sobers had a lot more good days than Botham in their resp. careers.

[undisputed chap]

Imran > Sobers > Kallis > Botham > Hadlee = Kapil

[fineleg]

one their best day' date=' botham is my personal preference. but ofcourse Sobers had a lot more good days than Botham in their resp. careers.

and thats CRUCIAL from a "career" standpoint. on the best day - is a nebulous comparison (comparisons are nebulous in themselves, but relatively)

yeah, but the thread is about "on their best day". since there might be a lot more threads on their entire career perspective i started this thread, from this angle. entire career obviously everyone knows Kallis>Sobers>Imran>Botham>Miller,Dev, etc...
