milky4130 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 It was only a matter of time, shouldn't have toured SL as I stated during the ODI Series, only damaged his Stats further. Thanks for your services Sir Kallis

Shebeen Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 It was only a matter of time, shouldn't have toured SL as I stated during the ODI Series, only damaged his Stats further. Thanks for your services Sir KallisI dunno about that, he wanted to see if he really could make it to the world cup - well done to him for not putting the tough decision onto the selectors. But let's be blunt, no one cares about his average more than Jacques Henry Kallis. deanbean 1
Shebeen Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 He will also be remembered for being the SA sportsman with possibly the worst tv commercials ever. I don't say that lightly, as there is strong competition in these stakes from victor matfield, francois pienaar and biff amongst others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE__8ZaYvsI
Firozfx Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Statistically, Kallis has a better test record than Tendulkar. On phone so can't copy and paste but had Kallis played the same number of tests as Tendulkar, he would have surpassed both runs and test 100's
Firozfx Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Tendulkar 15921 runs and 51 hundreds in 200 matches Kallis 13289 runs and 45 hundreds in 166 matches Kallis short by 2632 runs to be scored in 34 matches meaning he would need to score only 78 per match(2 innings) to pass Tendulkar by which time he wild have scored more 100's

Kallis played most of his games on bowler friendly wickets, the great one is from india where they prepare lifeless surfaces at will.

Shebeen Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Morne Steyn - the ad when is doing ballet. Pierre Spies for outsurance .... The no more mister nice guy ads were okIf you're a sportstar and your agent phones with news that he's secured you an advert with outsurance, fire him. i have not seen the morne steyn one, but it sounds promising.

VicanZA Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 don't bother, he's a country mile ahead. Kallis played most of his games on bowler friendly wickets, the great one is from india where they prepare lifeless surfaces at will. U can't compare the 2, tendulkar and Lara are from another planet, they much like pointing could counter attack, they could win a test in 2 seasons on any surface, Kalllis and Dravid are the long distance runners they need 5 seasons to hurt a team. Just look at the big hundreds that the first 3 have, different types of player but if u only had 1 slot left in ur Sunday team the first 3 on my list would fill it. Aus 16 years of world cricket domination was done without a single allrounder. 6 batters, including a wicket keeper who could bat and 5 bowlers. Probably the best side I've ever seen play.
