The Jacques Kallis Appreciation thread

[African Monkey]

You could always use him as a bowler and bat him at 8 or something.

 

[Pistol]

thats true. play him down the order, send the men who go the tonk up higher and use him as a bowler

but on the flip side, it seems a waste of time given the talent the guy has and the style of player he is. He is more of a grafter and grinder.

 

[African Monkey]

I doubt he'd play if he was to bat down the order.

 

[TheParraboy]

:lol: If he doesn't get picked he'll go home.

I never said he would make the XI :lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

I never said he would make the XI :lol:

True :lol:

A s/r of 61 is good for fatso

 

[African Monkey]

Kallis' dismissal spelt the end for SA.

 

[hineyrulz]

A s/r of 61 is good for fatso

Geez he must have went nuts :lol:

 

[African Monkey]

I'm starting to think that Kallis should turn into a bowler instead.

 

[hineyrulz]

But he is a batting genius AM :sarcasm:

 

[African Monkey]

He is but I think a spell at 7 or 8 in the ODIs would do him the world of good.

 

[hineyrulz]

I think he would prefer a stint at Sizzlers instead

 

[African Monkey]

He probably would.

The All You Can Eat buffet!:lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

The All You Can Eat buffet!:lol:

You know it!!

 

[lockyno1]

Keeps him in fine condition..going the Ranatunga way!

 

[African Monkey]

How about thinking about how Kallis will feel once he sees this thread.

 

[lockyno1]

Probably make him hungry thinking of Sizzler!

 

[African Monkey]

:lol: I'll admit that comment was funny but c'mon lets treat each other the way we would like to be treated.
