Are you seriously contemplating a choice between attacking strokeplay and 200 test wickets?I'm undecided on the Tendulkar vs. Kallis as cricketers thing. Same goes for Ponting/Lara vs. Kallis... I know their numbers are comparable but the intangibles like attacking strokeplay make it a tricky one to judge. How many would rate Kallis as a better cricketer than Richards?
If you have any sense of logic at all there's not really any doubt that Kallis brings more to a side than any pure batsman since Bradman. That's just not really what people mean when they talk about who the greatest cricketers ever are. Personally I have a lot of respect for someone who just churns out copious amounts of runs and wickets (and hence helps churn out copious amounts of victories for his team) but there's nothing wrong with ranking Richards ahead of him for his pure magic. Same goes for Ponting and Lara. Kallis really doesn't have much magic.
