Choose combo : Viv & Sachin vs Sobers & Kallis

[Coronis]

These SR dates that you have picked pretty much exactly match the (percieved or real) strength of the RSA top/middle order. Pure trash until 98. Decent, but still a perception of fragility until Smith debuted in 2002. Beastly strong after about 2009 when Amla and AB hit form.

What relevance do you think the team's SR had? The average counts more. See above. I honestly wouldn't have a clue if this was praise or criticism, if it didn't come from you.

RSA was a team that always played for draws and series results. They weren't rated as one of the top modern teams at the end of the Kallis era because they were blanking teams. It was because they were generating series results through drawing some and winning others.

Reminds me of another great team tbh.

As Kallis exemplified.
