unmatched ability to fight and win the games single handedly, contributing with class bowling and batting, surpasses sachin & ponting anyday, a multi talented player's extra ability must be rewarded unlike sachin and ponting who can only bat.
Considering his immense all-rounder abilities, Kallis deserves to be No.1 in the run aggregate as well, and I truly hope he overtakes Tendulkar, but its slightly unlikely because he then needs to have 2 1000-plus run years - assuming he plays for another 2 - but really great people retire while remaining great(I'm looking at you, Tendulkar), so he might retire earlier than that.

You are absolutely right. He is a great cricketer in all respects in all formats of the game.
