I consider Jacques Kallis one of the greatest modern cricketers tbh. The value of all all-rounders is severely under-appreciated for me.I'd love to hear your reasoning behind thinking this.
The true value of Jacques Kallis will only be truly appreciated when he retires IMO. He's the single reason why South Africa can field a 6 batsmen, 4 bowlers line up.
It's just because I think quality bowling wins you more games than quality batting does. I'm not going to go as far to say something so crude and unrefined as "bowling >>> batting". But the difference between a great bowler and a mediocre bowler is greater than the difference between a great batsman and a mediocre batsman.
So when you have the choice between a great bowler-good batsman combo like Imran and a great batsman-good bowler combo like Sobers, I'm inclined to go for the former.
