cricket like most sports in past 40 years has definately and undeniably improved .there is now Sports scientists , full time physios , better coaching , nutrition and supplement improvements , junior coaching and talent identification programs , bowling machines , video analysis .etc teams like w indies in 80 s australia 90s and 00s south africa late 60s would have absolutley belted any pre ww2 teams, and not to many would argue with this.
Only now we are hearing and realising Kallis greatness but in a few years he will be forgotten which is sad but true. Greatness isn't always based on averages and for that Sorbers is the best ever and way ahead of him.
While Sachin is the best batsmen of this era Kallis is the best all rounder I have ever seen. Cricket is an amazing game it makes you respect people regardless of what country they come from.
Danial Waleed you have not seen Gary sobers who was pace bowler,left arm,u left arm unorthodox and best fielder anywhere and a batsman who dominated bowlers in all type of wickets.his batting av.57.8,,in 91 tests 8000odd runs,245 wickets and more than 100 catches with batting strike rate more than 85.if he played today in limited over he would have been a great allrounder there too
I agree Sir Gary Sobers was the best all rounder of his era. However, I believe Kallis is the best all rounder of the modern generation and it is pointless to compare Kalis with Sir Gary Sobers because the type of cricket played in 60's is totally different than the one played in the modern era. I have respect for both of them I just feel like Kalis always gets the short end of the stick when it comes to the title of best all rounder as people just say Sir Gary Sobers and the debates ends right there.
One very important point people tend to forget, after his work load as a 3rd or 4th spell bowler, and a batsmen on nr 3 or 4 ( later in his career ) he fielded on first or second slip 90% plus of all his test cricket matches, concentration and determination.
Shuffle/trigger, 60% on front foot, and play straight. Genius and simple. As batsman we tend to overthink and jacques Kallis always has made things simple looking. Anyways for future batsman, its a guide on how to bat.
As an Aussie, you are getting one of the best, if not the best bowler telling you Jacques is one of the best all rounders? I agree. I never got to see Sir Garfield Sobers, but I've seen alot of J.K. and he is the best by far I've seen, better than Shane Watson, who I feel is one of the best, bloody injuries...Hard to admit the best isn't an Aussie, but it's true.
I have seen both Sir Gary Sobers and Jack Kallis. I concur with Wasim Akram that Sobers was a better allrounder than Kallis. Sobers was definitely more entertaining and pleasing to watch.
All dear readers, I'd like to share my all time beast 11. Do reply your thoughts IN RESPECTFUL MANNER. My ALL TIME BEAST 11- (With the consideration that all players are in the best ever form) ODI : 1. Sachin 2. Jayasuriya 3. Ponting (captain) 4. Kallis 5. Gilchrist (wicketkeeper) 6. Bevan 7. Warne 8.

Watson bowling strike rate = 73 Only 76 wickets in 58 matches Only 4 centuries Can't play quality pace bowling Bats like a tail ender against spin bowling Can't even play the a good leg cutter at pace
not true. Where i grew up we had uncovered wickets and what us to happen was the bounce was very in consistent but the pace was quick. I am talking about those skiddy clay wickets. so we learned not to play back but also not to shove the front foot down the track. that is what they use to do and a player is a products of the environment. nowadays they would not score as many runs but not because of their technique but the bowlers being smarter and have more variety as well. + fielding is better
It is quite obvious from video footage of the 30 s and 40s that the standard of cricket was barely above village cricket level . Could you imagine alan border , sunil gavaskar , ian botham , ie former stars now in their 40s and 50s still playing and dominating first class cricket . I dont think so. But they used to play until early 50s in pre ww2 times due to the very average standard of first class cricket at the time.
Agreed that standards from 70s are far superior to 30s and 40s...but certainly not as bad as today's village level..eventhough bowling and fielding are miles better from 70s in contrast to 30s and 40s..still they played with small bats , big grounds and on uncovered pitches..if rained then sticky wicket is the most difficult wkt to bat on..
If you follow your logic why dont you say wilfred rhodes and wg grace were brilliant all rounders as good as kallis and hammond or do you concede that cricket standards were mediocre at best pre WW2
Sir Garfield Sobers is the greatest all-rounder ever in the history of cricket. Once the greatest batsman ever, Sir Donald Bradman, told Sobers 'A five in one cricketer'. Jacques Kallis is the second greatest all-rounder ever in cricket.
ak121293 he is still called by indians as the greatest all rounder of all time. He didn't need to be an Indian to be called that. Indians appreciate great legends. And I can see at which indian cricketer u r being so butthurt at
I keep kalis ahead of all...sensitional....Jack is only player with more than 10000 in both ODI AND TEST...more than 250 wickets IN BITH ....and 200 catches in test and 134 in odi....who will break this record
Kallis is the greatest cricketer to have played the game of cricket, No doubt about it. His records in test cricket & one day cricket are untouchable. Virat kohli may break Sachin's record by scoring more than 100 centuries. But the records set by kallis are just beyond every body. He has taken almost 300 wickets in test & scored more than 13000 runs. This record is just impossible for anyone to achieve.
Ian botham is only the greatest all rounder.others are far behind. Sobers is a batsman all rounder and imran is a bowling all rounder like Hadlee.But Botham is a genuine all rounder. Look at the avg. of botham before 1985,we can not be called him batting or bowling allrounder.But,we can call him combination of both.But, after1985,his batting and bowling were deteriorated due to his severe back problem.
2nd greatest all rounder are you kidding . his bowling was part time he took 83 wickets at 37 ave from 85 tests ., not the figures of a great all rounder . His first class bowling figures are a bit better BUT the first class county cricket standards of the time were very poor, so dont count for much . IE If it was strong there is No way a man like J hobbs could score a hundred first class tons after the age of 40. Kallis is by far a better cricketer than hammond ever was.
@@lightyagami8645 how in batting no??? .Ponting has more runs becuase he played more tests .sachin played 34 more tests so he has more runs and centuries .still Kallis has more 100s than ponting !!!!.sachin took 129 catches from 200 tests and Kallis took 200 catches from 166 tests .
And he has more batting avg than both of them . Ponting took 196 catches from 168 tests .Kallis 200 from 166 tests .and you will say small difference but Kallis also took 292 wickets with 32 avg and under 3 economy .to have this stats in both odis and test (all 3 departments).

How?
He is not underrated
If they have one even a single icc trophy may be
He's actually very highly rated.
Not underrated idiot
The prototypical number 4 in the test game. Just got on with the job and rarely gave away his wicket. Like Akram says, "A thorough professional...".
Greatest cricketer of all time ❤️
Kallis selecting his All time 11 select both Wasim and Waqar in his team and said that Wasim is most difficult bowler he faced
True
Game knows game, I guess
Admit it, if Kallis would have played for India with the same stats, he would have become the God of Cricket.

armanath scored a few centuries against great pace bowlers but his statistics of test batting average of 43 is hardly world beating.
In my opinion he is the greatest, he was good at both bat and bowl

As batsman we tend to overthink and jacques Kallis always has made things simple looking. Anyways for future batsman, its a guide on how to bat.
why do we forget Klusener?
I wonder what Robelinda would say about this, his favorite bowler praising his most hated batsmen.

For a batsman that got out to the Yorker a lot, it's strange that Wasim never dismissed him in tests.
