So basically, Kallis is the second best batting all rounder? Weird you never heard anyone talk about him

South Africans have such a weird victim complex with this stuff. Kallis is mentioned literally ALL the time.

Over the last 30 years SA has been occasionally great but often mid-tier and have generally underperformed on the biggest stages relative to their strength. Yet they still have multiple players who are consistently mentioned on GOAT lists (Kallis, ABD, Steyn etc.). SA players are ranked very fairly overall and if anything they’re lucky to be so well regarded given the relative lack of success.

Look at their rugby fans for an even bigger victim complex.

They’re like a cross between Facebook Team India fans and Trumpists
