The Jacques Kallis Appreciation thread

[African Monkey]

I think he would be another Tim Brasher if he played in the NRL.

Good to see you back AM

I thought you might have bought a plane ticket into Melbourne to check on Jacques welfare after he got out to Haurie

 

[Panther_Daz]

How far behind Sobers would you rate Kallis as the greatest ever all-rounder?

 

[TheParraboy]

I would rank Jacques on par or just a tad behind Garry as far as test allrounders go

sobers slightly better batting average, Jaques better bowling average and far better strike rate

keep in mind Jacques is still playing, has 249 test wickets now and almost 10000 runs

Keep In Mind Jacques Is Still Playing, Has 249 Test Wickets Now

250! :d

 

[TheParraboy]

there you go, I cant keep up with him

300 before we know it

 

[African Monkey]

We should count ourselves lucky that we've seen one of the greatest players of all time.

 

[Panther_Daz]

First player to do the 9000 run and 250 wicket double!

 

[African Monkey]

First player to do the 9000 run and 250 wicket double!

He's only 53 runs away from 10,000 runs.

 

[TheParraboy]

He could have 11,000+ runs and 300+ wickets by this time next year - thats just wow really

 

[Ridders]

Thats easily puts him in the Top 10 cricketers of all time.

 

[Ridders]

Beautiful ball from the great man.

 

[African Monkey]

I don't think he's dropped a catch this series. He is an all-round genius who loves not just people, but life in general.

 

[TheParraboy]

I dont think he has dropped a catch all career

Great bloke, holds himself well on and off the pitch

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Champion all-rounder. The second best all-rounder of this decade after me

 

[JJ]

on abc radio about 10 minutes after Jacques got out, not sure who the commentator was, (it wasnt kerry)

"We have some breaking news from the dressing rooms, Jaques Kallis is out for the rest of the tour"

slight pause

"He has nearly beat himself to death by getting out to Hauritz" :lol::lol::lol:

:lol:

a blip in a magnificent career

 

[African Monkey]

Is it just me or is Jacques going anorexic ?

 

[lockyno1]

He will never be anorexic

 

[TheParraboy]

Is it just me or is Jacques going anorexic ?

certainly not in the runs, wickets and catches department he isnt

getting very plump in those areas

 

[hineyrulz]

His two wickets definatley swung the test in SA's favour, there is nothing this god of cricket cannot do.........
