Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

[OverratedSanity]

Kallis is overrated at everything. He's just more overrated as a bowler than as a batsman.

does this mean ... Kallis is sanity?

 

[ZK$]

Kallis is very underrated as a batsman.

Kallis is very underrated as a batsman.

Not really. Even at his peak there always seemed to be three to four better batsmen in world cricket. Kallis didn't distinguish himself.

If Kallis had an iota of sanity, he wouldn't have run over Subshakerz's puppy.

Kallis’ bowling is better than Sobers. And when imran became proper batsman, he was barely bowling..

Sobers took 4 wickets per match at an avg of 27 or so for 7 years

Case in point.

 

[Coronis]

Kallis’ fielding and personality are both underrated tbh.

If choking is a personality then yeah

 

[ataraxia]

It isn't.

 

[trundler]

Case in point.

Nah that's just one bloke who puts an inordinate emphasis on genius or clutchness. He's not even wrong considering his priorities. However, there are many more people who try to make Kallis into someone he wasn't. It's like if a big section of CW really believed Ponting was merely unlucky every time he played in India.

Everyone is unlucky in India. How else do you explain nobody beating them at home?

India gud

 

[Coronis]

We all know how biased you are

Broken toenails.

 

[Coronis]

Broken toenails.

Clearly another case of bad luck.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Nah it's the curry.

Imran has the edge in primary skills, though closer than some are saying. I rank Imran somewhere between 6th and 8th and Kallis somewhere in the mid teens. I disliked his style and found it a bit selfish, but his record is impressive, especially on home pitches.

Imran takes the win in the secondary role more comfortably, though not a run away. Kallis could be handful in the right conditions and when he wanted to.

Kallis takes the tertiary skill, he was truly one of the all time greats in the cordon. He was safe and surprisingly mobile for a big man.

So Imran

I'm impressed Imran seems to be rising in your estimation than earlier.

I have repeatedly said I don't hate Imran, that's your perception of it.
Nothing has changed, it's hard to rate that next tier of guys, Donald, Imran, Garner, Lillee, Trueman, Holding, Davidson. That's probably the order today, but it changes

Thought you were coming after me for saying I rate Kallis's catching over Imran's captaincy
