Post by bayhaus »

kallis becomes the 6th Batsmen to reach 11 000 runs but is the only one to do it without ever scoring a double century.

He's a class act, and whoever can't see that, needs to go to Specsavers. He's a genuine all-rounder, and a legend of South African Cricket and World Cricket

Yes Sir! were looking at his stats and the fact that he got all these runs after bowling lots of overs as well and in the West Indies he was bowling at 145Km/h! There is no Allrounder even close to this dude! he will be an all time great!

Ya well I remember in 2003 when South Africa toured England he clocked up to 94 Clicks. He got 5 wickets in that game and 90 runs. I can only think of Flintoff who's achieved bowling as quick as that and getting runs in the same match...

Incredible player. Just watching the ODI right now; 36 years old and produced a bouncer at over 143 km/h. To go with his 76 earlier on. How come even Zimbabwe's fastest bowler in Jarvis can't consistently crack 140?

I was hoping someone who follows South African cricket can someone confirm or deny this... I'm almost certain that in a game in the late 90's between Australia and South Africa I saw Kallis bowling leg spin. Am I imagining this or was there indeed a point in his career where he did bowl some spin?
