Yeah outside here people overrate Kallis a bit as they just go by raw numbers
3rd most runs in Tests
2nd most centuries in Tests
2nd highest average in last 50 years in Tests
11579 runs @ 45 in ODI
292 wickets @ 32 in Tests & 273 @ 31 in ODIs
The raw numbers are very very good
The only great batting all rounder in last 50 years
So yeah obviously he will rated high or overrated

I have never seen a single game ice hockey. Even if I see the most popular ice hockey player, I wouldn’t recognise them but even I have heard of one name - Wayne Gretzky.
Yeah me either for both say Ice Hockey and NFL. Still hear a few names - generally when hearing about greatest athletes in general or greatest players in x sport - and sports stuff in general tends to stick with me. Gretzky and the other dude who was like probably the next greatest but had issues - Lemon I think. NFL I’ve heard a lot more about relatively recently due to watching ESPN stuff on bball, usually those shows always have NFL **** too. Brady, Rogers, Rice, Brown, Taylor, Sanders (only cos one time I was searching to see if you were allowed to be on offense and defense in NFL - pro players are lazy)

Ofc have heard about the Pakistani squash players but wtf would actually watch a squash game. Or Walter Lindrum and billiards.

And ofc the most boring yet most ubiquitous sport - Soccer. Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi, Beckham (not for sporting accomplishments really)

I love Cricket more. It's the sport I less sucked at, I watched it atleast 10x more (like the length of a Test and Football match don't even compare) and definitely know more about it. But yeah, football is Greater.
You chuck while bowling, and then managed to be somehow worse in football?

ATG Stuff!
