Whatever it takes!!!
Only Kallis could score a monster innings of 189*- the only century of the match- and come away with all kinds of criticism thrown at him. What bollocks.
Monster indeed.. So much so that his own captain thought him batting on was a disadvantage to his team and their chances of winning... 8-)

Please stop this bickering, all of you.
yeah. that poor bastard has realized his shortcomings and he is trying to score faster these days. give him a chance. (though I think it is too late in the day for him to become a better batsman)

I understand all that and honestly, I rate Kallis higher than people would assume from this thread.. I rate his knock against Murali in the 1998 Champions Trophy finals as one of the most destructive ODI knocks I have ever seen.. He calculated and went after Murali and that basically knocked out SL in that match...


But how does any of this make his 189 a better knock, I really fail to understand.. It was just a good knock but way too slow for the circumstances in which it was played and it can be seen by the way the captain declared on him...


Kallis is a great player but it was NOT a great innings..
