Perhaps the greatest all-rounder of all time and certainly the best in recent times, Jacques Kallis' stats in all forms of the game makes for jaw-dropping stuff. The only man to have scored over 10000 runs and taken over 250 wickets in both forms of the game, Kallis is a modern day colossus. Add a couple of hundred catches in both forms of the game and what you get is an invaluable and an irreplaceable asset.
Kallis made his test debut in 1995 against England and in only his seventh test, he produced a match-saving hundred against Australia at the MCG, where he thwarted off the likes of Warne and McGrath to prove his class. With that knock, Kallis fulfilled his promise and has been the rock that holds the South African middle-order together for nearly 15 years.
Technically sound and strong off either foot, Kallis is adept at playing both the seamers and the spinners. Once in, he is one of the most difficult batsman to dislodge in World Cricket and has often buried the opposition into dust with his stoic approach

Jacques KallisNo batsman prizes his wicket more highly, and no wicket in all of cricket is more highly prized. Jacques Kallis is the broad-shouldered colossus of the South African team, a figure whose looming presence inspires calm in some and dread in others. Few players who belong to the modern age are a better fit for the notion of the classical cricketer. Kallis is a fine, forceful batsman who has at his disposal both a rock-solid technique and a mind impervious to distraction. Though his role as a bowler diminishes with each passing season, he will be remembered as a purveyor of sometimes surprising pace and swing, and awkward bounce. In the slips, his sure-handedness and rattlesnake reflexes make ridiculous catches look regulation. Kallis announced himself as a batsman of international stature in his seventh Test, the drawn Boxing Day epic at Melbourne in 1997, when he scored a fighting 101 on a worn last-day pitch. Not even Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne could dislodge him before he had all but saved the match for South Africa. Over the years Kallis has delivered many s Copyright ©oilpike.pages.dev 2025 |
