Clarke is the form player in world cricket and a class act but in terms of longevity and still turning out massive scores maybe Kallis?

Got to be Amla, Cook and Clarke not far behind though.

If only his days were all Test Match days.
At the minute it's Amla and Chanderpaul for me. The former bats like the best player in the world, the latter bats like the only specialist bat holding his team together. Which he is.
Cook and Clarke next.

I tell you what Kallis has over 13000 test runs at an average of over 56 producing the goods year in year out. In recent times since 2010 he has averaged over 65 and he cant even get in the top 6 in the world according to here 
The likes of KP, Cook, Clarke etc are world class players but they have a bit to go to be considered as good as Kallis IMO. I reckon they would say so themselves, well apart from KP that is.

Spot on. I think because he is a genuine allrounder people forget how good a batsmen he is. One of the best batsmen of his generation and one of the greatest allrounders of all time.

Defo spot on. Kallis has produced the goods over many years and is still producing the goods today.
I must say I really rate Alistair Cook the best among the chasing pack. Every time he goes to the wicket you expect him to get a high score. He has also produced the goods all over the world as well as at home. Temperament is also excellent. Never seems to get flustered or lose his focus.

9th according to ICC rankings. So whilst he is without doubt one of the best cricketers ever, the posters on here have a point
