The Jacques Kallis Appreciation thread

[lockyno1]

The South African commentators aren't biast :? they are the worst i have heard. The Pommie commentator are normally pretty good. Skull o'keefe and Ritchie are the best.

Pommie ones are pretty good, Botham and Atherton are pretty good

 

[African Monkey]

What about the NZ commentators ? I personally think they're ok except for Simon Doull.

 

[lockyno1]

Hadlee is the one I find ok, the rest meh. I just wish commentators won't forget the biases and just call it as they see it

 

[hineyrulz]

Bumble Lloyd is brilliant as well.

You didn't catch much PB, you're gunna have to throw them back :lol:

come on mate, page 4 and a few overs to go before stumps on DAY 1 :lol:

A couple of things Kallis has never done in test cricket, Ill let the pictures do the talking :lol:

 

[African Monkey]

Neither has Michael Clarke or Andrew Symonds.

Botham is good comedy, because the man is always wrong. If he says someone is struggling, watch them bag 5 wickets. If he says they are on fire, watch them get out in the next few overs. Little wonder the man never won a match as a captain!

The Sky team is way better than the Channel 9 team though, with the exception of that twat Hussain and 'Boring Bob' Willis.

 

[hineyrulz]

Neither has Michael Clarke or Andrew Symonds.

Neither have Chris Martin or Monty Panesar

Mark Waugh, Damien Martyn, Kevin Pieterson...

They are not labelled as modern day greats though ;-)

neither waS/is Mark Waugh, Damien Martyn or Kevin Pieterson

I thought you guys were Kallis fans, dont insult him with these sorts of comebacks :lol:

 

[simmo1]

I never called him a modern day great (god, I hate that term). I'd say he is the best all-rounder of his era though, his ranga team mate a close second.

Mark Waugh, Damien Martyn, Kevin Pieterson...

Pietersen has against the WI I think.

Are you taking the piss out of us ?

 

[simmo1]

Indeed he has. My bad.

How about, Desmond Haynes, Mohommad Azzharudin and Ian Chappell?

 

[African Monkey]

Arjuna Ranatunga ?

 

[TheParraboy]

Are you taking the piss out of us ?

we're a team

 

[African Monkey]

Yes we are but You've been comparing Kallis and Gillespie. It's like saying that Wasim Akram is better than Tendulkar because he has a higher test score.

 

[TheParraboy]

ive never compared gillepsie to kallis in this thread, show me where?
