I can only think of Kallis to rival him to be honest in terms of everything i.e batting, bowling, fielding, big match performances, leadership etc.

Kallis has the stats advantage but he didn't win any World Cup's, fielding isn't as good and I don't think he really featured much as a captain?

Hard to compare the old guard like Sobers because he never played the range of Cricket that the modern players do.

Kalis was a wonderful player

I would have said Kallis, Sobers, Botham, Imran, Dev, Hadlee if we are talking all rounders, and without checking the stats. Mike Proctor was world class too, but never played much test cricket due to apartheid. However not diminishing his brilliance, and him and Root are proper mentality monsters.

Edit - definitely the world’s best on one leg

Done well here there two but 109 is still a lot of runs to get lose 1 and could lose 1 or 2 more quickly! We need these two to stay together till we need 50/60 runs
