Kallis was quite close I think - if he'd bowled slightly more at the end of his career he would have got to 300 wickets.

You are right though, there are 3 on this list that were arguably not allrounders.

If the definition of an all-rounder is one who could qualify for the team with either discipline alone, then there are only 3 genuine all-rounders on the list. Kallis, Keith Miller the obvious ones missing...And Wicket Keeper/Batsmen like Sangakkara, Gilchrist, Dhoni also deserve all-rounder status

Yep - perhaps I should do a different quiz with different parameters. However, 3000 runs and 300 wickets is still a very rare and significant achievement, even if some of these guys are 'bowlers who could bat a bit'.
