Who is the better all rounder overall in ODI & Test?

I answered the question in terms of who is doing the business at the moment...

You may not like Freddie that is perfectly ok with me. But saying freddie can't overtake Kallis is not right. he will certainly overtake him in the bowling department. No matter what you say.

BTW, with world XI against aus, Kallis 3 overs 0 Maidens 33 runs 0 wickets. At that rate if he had bowled 8 overs (I wish he did, all Pollocks fault) he may have snatched the record from Taposh of being the most expensive bowler ever.

His batting (thats his strength), 11 runs 25 balls. All I can say that is comparable to our Javed Omar. And you know how BC member feels about JO.

It really needs some courage to ignore a great player with a batting avg. of 57 and taking 183 test wickets. Kallis still has a better Bowling avg than Flintoff and for batting, Freddie can never even dream of overtaking Kallis.

I agree. Because freddi is not a selfish player like Kallis. He is a team man above all. Even in his hey day when Kallis bat at 3, bowl at first change, there was not a series which is known as Series of Kallis for his allround performance. I think Afridi won more match for Pakistan than Kallis for SA.

Kallis's form in the last 2 games he played fails to justify his inclusion in World XI. I rather have someone else in the team.
