Well done Kallis

[Cricketics]

Calls for retirement and plays a brilliant knock in his last match. Still going on. Not many hit or play like that in their last test. Brilliant century. :hatsoff: on a brilliant career.

[bulbul]

:hatsoff: to brilliant career. but this innings is bit slow.

[bulbul]

Now 3rd highest run scorer in test cricket..

[StriKe]

:hatsoff: Legend Goes past Dravid by 1 run

[Cricketics]

WOW. I jinxed him rofl but that wasn't the purpose of thi thread.. Brilliant knock.

[urbestfriend]

Great player :hatsoff:

[King Tendulkar]

What a player

[amiret]

Fantastic player. Deserves the Bharat Ratna.

[Pagalpanti]

India loves giving farewell gifts.. A double ton to Ponting, and a century to out of form Kallis.

[beetle]

:hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff:The best complete cricketer!

[Zanjeer]

Champion cricketer..not a nice feeling to see very few people turning up for his last test match.

[SLICKR392]

Massive player for SA. Fekers couldn't get him out before he went past Jammy.

[I6MTW]

90 more runs to become the 2nd highest run scorer on the list, if he gets a chance to bat in the second innings.

[SLICKR392]

BTW, a very, very selfish centuary that won't be missed.

[ravishingravi]

Excellent decision to retire against the right opposition

Excellent decision to retire against the right opposition

Agree.... You don't get a more defensive opposition than Team India... Even Tendulkar struggled to make a century against WI in his last match...

[JourneyMan]

Legend, very few players can perform at this level with bat and ball. Stepped out while he was still on top. The guy has been around for a LONG time and he still plays like someone who has many years of cricket left in him.

BTW' date=' a very, very selfish centuary that won't be missed.[/quote'] You're embarassing yourself by openly displaying your complete ignorance about test cricket. True, especially considering that Australia were next and they wouldn't have made it easy for him.

Pity you don't get that post and who I was relating the situation to. And this is not how you bat to win a match when you are aware about the bad weather looming around.

[Iconoclast]

Fitting farewell to this legend. Don't think we'll ever see a cricketer like him again.

You do realize that the Saffers were still trailing for most of his innings? Once they crossed the mark, they started going all the way up to 6 or 7 RPO for sustained periods. Being the player with the best defence on the team, it only made sense for Kallis to play a sensible innings.
