Sangakkara.

Botham was never great in either of his disciplines for his full career. Sanga was batting legend, and was a great keeper throughout his career. Sanga is one of the greatest all rounders cricket have ever seen, together with Gilchrist.

Sangakarra IMO

Good WK, legendary as a pure batter. Succeeded pretty much everywhere when he played as a pure batter and also averaged 41 as a WK-batter which is better than most wicket-keeper batters.

With Botham its once again 1978-83/84 that we mostly talk about isn't it. He played plenty of cricket in that period and was on another level, but at the end of the day it's just 6 years.
