I know I'll get shot down for this, but I reckon Amla is a better test batsman.

His career strike rate doesn't say much. Here is his stats based on the last 3.5 years:
Span Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 0 4s 6s
2005-2007 30 30 4 1099 125* 42.26 1491 73.70 3 7 2 108 5
I have to say he was treated unfairly. Especially since now SA is calling out for specialist opener and he was very successful opener in ODIs:
Span Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 0 4s 6s
1999-2006 43 43 6 1752 125* 47.35 2560 68.43 4 13 1 170 8
Sad really.

TBH, there's really not much between them IMO. Both excellent at domestic-First-Class level, both relative failures in Tests. Dippenaar's failings were mostly temperamental, Amla's have been technical and temperamental. But Amla still has a chance (though I don't rate his chances of taking it particularly highly) to make a good Test career.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
That is, if South Africa play NZ every two years for him to keep his place...
