848 runs @ 35.33, 2 100s
39 wickets @ 29.31, 1 5w
also WPM of 2.6

Kallis got his deserving respect in this thread:-
Sachin Tendulkar vs Jacques Kallis
Imran is a bit of a different case seeing as he did play as a specialist bat. It's very unfair on him as a bowler to include this period. I want to credit him for his batting phase too, as it makes him a better player, but it gets messy assessing him in different ways. He's plenty good as a...

So Kallis should be the sure shot selection at 4 like sobers ? He is great in every department, 200 catches, 61 batting avg and good bowler.

Sobers is just a way better player. Better batsman, better bowler, and a better fielder.

Sobers played only 10-20 matches at 4,5,6 , how he is way better batsman than Kallis,who has batted at 4 in around 100 matches?

Remaining not out in test is a great thing unlike in ODIs (msd)
