I would argue this with you but it's a no brainer. It's like debating who is better between Rooney and Robbie Keane.
India vs. South Africa
- Thread starter mehro
- Start date
Sachin is one of the best players the World has ever seen.
Kallis is a very selfish player. His high average is a reflection of this fact.
Smith is the best player in the SA team.

ridiculous.
I might know why Kallis has some good statistics - They played Pak who had injuries to Asif, Shoaib, and Gul. Sami was the main bowler 
Kallis proceeded to get a few centuries and one double ton. Easy easy.
He might be a good all rounder but Sachin is one of the best batsmen around. If there was one batsmen from the last two years who I'd pick for a side it would be from Lara, Sachin, and Inzaman. Ponting looks like a gimp.
There's definitely no bias from me - Born and bred in England but support Pak through my roots. (Is this weird to other folk?)
One thing though: Kallis > India's 1st innings batting performance

Welcome Back Spoons
It isn't now. Gilchrist's poor form over the last 2 years or so cost him an average over 50.

By the way, can we stop all this 'Kallis vs Sachin' crap and start doing more of what we should be doing and that is laughing at India.

Made me laugh this morning when Kallis hit one in to the ground and it rolled into the stumps without disturbing the bails!!!
The commentators were going ape shit, "this is a travesty, someone is cheating.." etc etc..
It's good how they keep panning to the 2 hot South African ladies in the crowd though, Bumble would be loving it!
Bumble > Indian Commentators
Do you actually think Kallis is better than Tendulkar?
Dippersripper is going to hunt you down and kill you.

Yes
Surely South Africa have enough now, they should declare. (Mainly to stop that feckface 'weed' Harbhajan from getting 5fer)
eastender, i like your location.A guy who claims that Boring feck Kallis is better than the Master batsman deserves to be hunted down and killed.
Go Dipper Stripper.
Go Dipper Stripper.
Sachin ruled out for the third test too. Boring boring cricket.
Boring boring cricket.Where's vijay anyway?
It often seemed like he was having a different conversation to the rest of us, but it made for good entertainment in a David Brent sort of way.

We're going to lose this one too.
I miss vijay, now that I've realised he's gone.
I hope he died a slow painful death.

1-1 series tied... Dhoni looks a real captain
South Africa are the Chelsea of cricket. Very boring team.
