I cant knock Kallis's record hes been a very very good player

I can not stand to watch him bat tho. Its not that he's a slow scorer. Its the way he seemingly tries to be technically correct all the time and does not even try and play attacking. He clearly has all the shots in his arsenal, yet his beligerence and seeming refusal to play such shots is friggen rubbish to watch.

Oh and never knock Steve Waugh, he was the king

Sensible post #1 in this thread :clap:

As for the 200 discussions - my question is so what?? As noted above plenty of very high quality test batsmen have never scored 200, and plenty of very mediocre, or solid test bats (Gillespie, Matthew Sinclair, Bryan Young, etc for starters)

I have no problem with boring - many of my favourite bats - Kallis, Dravid, S Waugh, Border, Sangakarra etc are probably considered boring by locky and PB

yep... I guess the main point of this thread is that the occaisional root vegetable does have internet access
He is fat:lol:
This thread is gold. Lol at fat Kallis

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

:lol: given Hadlee doesn't do commentary work atm, or for a very long time

well I find myself responding to Locky sometimes and thinking, I know I'm being baited so why do I bother ? but I still do

I dont see how anyone cannot rate Kallis so I've stayed out of this one

You know Kallis is no good Twiz, he does not have a perky arse or highlights in his hair ;-)
