No chance, big Mac didn't make the impact in any form to be anywhere near the levels Klusener achieved in ODIs if you're weighting the forms evenly.Big Mac if we are talking overall if its just odi/t20 then zulu.
Great slipper, but that fact hardly narrows the gap between these two.McMillans slip catching tho.
How about this side:No chance, big Mac didn't make the impact in any form to be anywhere near the levels Klusener achieved in ODIs if you're weighting the forms evenly.
Heck, Kluenser's a genuine contender for an all-time ODI XI... McMillan wouldn't even get close to making a SA XI in any format since their readmission.

I do too. In fact I prefer to rate the forms separately, but the OP did ask across all forms so I felt obliged to weight them evenly.I give a much higher weight to test cricket and big Mac was a much better test player.
What exactly does he add to that team in contrast to a specialist batsman. It would be a different matter if Kallis wasn't there but no team needs 6 bowlers, especially not when 5 of them are seamers.How about this side:
Smith, Gibbs, Amla, Kallis, Cullinan, ABdV (wk), McMillan, Pollock, Harris, Steyn, Donald.

How can you pick gibbs and cullinan above kirsten and boucher?How about this side:
Smith, Gibbs, Amla, Kallis, Cullinan, ABdV (wk), McMillan, Pollock, Harris, Steyn, Donald.
