Never seen him play but sounds good so yeah.

You should watch him sometime.. 165 in 1 game and then 97 in his second game.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nothing can beat big Jaques playing a forward defensive shot, over and over and over again...........

Yeah I heard he got a bad decision in that 97. As hiney said though, Jacques forward defence is as good as I've seen from anyone.

 

[Matt23]

It was'nt bad it was a f*ckin disgraceful decision

pace, spin, beamers, yorkers etc...nothing can beat his defence, spot on hiney

But Locky said he deserved it because back in 1994 Rod Tucker got a shocker of a dismissal :sarcasm:

 

[TheParraboy]

to my calculations, Locky was only a 2yo in 94

There's always Shahid Afridi if you want entertainment.

Well whats Kallis good for then?

 

[African Monkey]

Scoring a sh*tload of runs, taking wickets at crucial times, being too good for everyone else as well as taking brilliant catches in the slips.

 

[TheParraboy]

in addition,

brilliant analysis help to the onfield captain, helps people with insomnia and eye candy for the ladies

 

[hineyrulz]

Is there anything he can't do???? Besides dominate against Australia......

Bat at anything above a snails pace

 

[TheParraboy]

you know he has scored a real fast 50 in both ODI and test cricket (better than a run a ball)


he can do it if he wants too

Who against Bangladesh that's who Graeme smith gets all his runs against

 

[TheParraboy]

dont forget, its quite exciting when he comes on to bowl too, usually the game is in the balance

He proved that in the IPL, oh wait :sarcasm:

 

[TheParraboy]
