Sanath v/s Kallis

[Richard]

Gilchrist wasn't as good, for mine, at destroying bad bowling, as Jayasuriya was. And Gilchrist wasn't all that much better at repelling good bowling than Jayasuriya to cause me to consider Gilchrist > Jayasuriya.

Jayasuriya also has more longevity than Gilchrist. At least 4 years' worth of it. And if he can go on for longer that'll start to become considerable.

Agreed.

And Gilchrist wasn't all that much better at repelling good bowling than Jayasuriya

This is where we differ. I think he was significantly better in this regard TBH. It's not something we can really prove either way though.

In Tests I'd agree with you completely on that score, but not ODIs.
