The goal, was to not have Sobers bowl and play him as a batsman and Kallis would be the batting all rounder.Kallis shouldn't be in at ATG team. He's not that useful at 6 compared to a more aggressive batsman, his bowling is virtually a non entity at this level and you should be picking Sobers so it's irrelevant anyway.
Most he's going to do is draw you games that you should have won. Better off having a Keith Miller or Imran Khan if you need him as a bowling option, or just a better specialist batsman if you already have Sobers + 4 bowlers
Additionally he could be the steadying force between the stroke makers above and below him.
Miller for me doesn't belong in a AT XI, he needed short bursts with the new ball to be effective, which he wouldn't get a sniff at here and he weakens the batting line up. Plus, remember that here the 5th bowlers role is to assist with the rotation and give the main guys a blow.
