There is no argument with him vs Sobers, but he is unquestionably the second best Batting All Rounder ever and quite possible second besr over all, with only Imran and Miller challenging for that spot. He is the fourth of fifth best batsman of his era, behind only Tendulkar, Lara, Ponting and possibly Dravid, but that one is really close and he may just be ahead. His only knock for me is his perceived selfishness with the pervelant though that he plays for Kallis rather that S.A, but for the most part he does what is required of him and does it well. A true ATG and yes, a very under rarated one.
