Here's a challenge for ya Rob, do you have any footage of the Aus A vs India A matches in Los Angeles around '98? Was the days of Brendan Creevey, Gerry Denton, Lee Hanson and Brett Lee terrorising the poor Indian players on some fairly lethal pitches, truly hilarious to watch. I remember catching some of it on FoxTel. Here's the group of matches;

And you never uploaded that 6 by Chris Cairns at The 'Gabba I asked for. Going to go claim copyright on one of your videos every hour it's not uploaded. Just remember you brought this upon yourself.

Jack Kallis' Six wicket haul vs England at Leeds, August 2003 - YouTube


Not too much of Kallis bowling apart from this.He was a fine sight, IMHO in the 1997-2004 period, especially in swinging conditions such as this one. A very good-looking action, I always thought.

Just checked and surprised to find that Kallis has taken 5 fivers. I thought he'd have only 1-2 of them. Trying to rate him always causes cognitive dissonance to me

Kallis' is a peculiar case for I always thought that a man of his talent underachieved with the ball.

If you follow some of his spells in the beginning of his career, you'd discover that he had great bowling potential and had one of the loveliest actions for bowling outswingers, IMHO. The tragedy is that Kallis, the batsman flourished at the expense of Kallis, the bowler and now we remember him as a great batsman who was very useful with the ball.

He realized that he couldnt do both. He has said that it was too taxing and that he chose to concentrate on his batting and relegate his bowling from 'front line' to 'useful option.' He could never have become the batsman he is if he had continued to bowl the volume he did.

Over 250 Test wickets at 31 a piece is pretty good going for one of the greatest batsmen of his generation tbf.

[Outswinger@Pace]

Kallis' overall bowling stats are impressive, but he hasn't shouldered the bowling responsibility that a man as gifted as him should have.

As Goughy correctly points out, he had to opt for a more subdued bowling role to focus on his batting. I am not complaining about this decision and it's colossal what he's achieved in the game.

One just gets the feeling that had Kallis been blessed with the batting talents of, say a Chris Martin, how awesome a bowler he could have ended up being! All speculative though.

The description says

Quite simply the best knock by an Indian batsman since Laxman's 281! Thanks to "Cricket_Guru" for putting this up elsewhere....
