K'd definitely have Kallis in my test side.

G Smith
Ponting
Sangakkara
M Hussey
Kallis
McCullum
Lee
Clark
Levercock

[African Monkey]

I agree PB.

 

[hineyrulz]

Leverock ahead of Giles PB

 

[TheParraboy]

Mate it was touch and go,

but Dwaynes superior athleticism in the field got the nod

 

[African Monkey]

I'd have Butcher ahead of Ponting as well.

Apart from the flat-track bullies at the top, and the cheat at the bottom, its a fairly handy outfit.

It's a bird, no it's a plane, no It's Big Dwayne:lol:

:lol:

fair dinkum,

put him at 2nd slip, and he covers 1st and 3rd slip quite easily :lol:

 

[JJ]

and always a chance of the ball bouncing off him to the keeper or gully - or if the angle's right, straight back to the bowler - kinda like having a "crazy catch" next to the keeper!

 

[TheParraboy]

Has Kallis lost his grove? Will he be back Vs the Australians?

Very poor series vs Poms
7 innings, 104 runs, 14.85 average, s/r 38.80

Redemeed himself a little with the ball
10 wickets @ 29.80

 

[African Monkey]

He'll be back.

 

[lockyno1]

lol at the strike rate

 

[hineyrulz]

lol at the strike rate

Yeah, he really picked it up this series :lol:

 

[TheParraboy]

Kallis thought he'd bring his IPL run rate and average to the test arena :lol:

Guys can we please stay on topic which is paying tribute to an all time great.

Fair call AM

I was just wandering, Does kallis get his extroadinary concentration powers at the wicket by watching paint dry or grass grow on his non cricket days?
