I always get the idea Kallis has been underused as a bowler. I'm not sure about this: How often did he bowl in the beginning of his test career?

Another point: Kallis' batting average is nearly double his bowling average (56.28 & 31.51). Flintoff's batting average are roughly the same (32.41 & 32.4).

I guess it's easy to rate Kallis way over Flintoff.....

Firstly, I'm not saying Flintoff=Kallis, hope noone thinks that. And nor am I saying that Kallis shouldn't be classed as an all-rounder. It's just that many people seem to think Flintoff ain't even a bowling all-rounder and I think it's a joke.

As for Kallis's bowling being underused, you can say the same about Flintoff's batting. Stupid umpires don't give him enough chances

Strauss. Idiot. Gunter gets wicket.

 

[GIMH]

**** Strauss

 

[Manee]

Oh dear, Vaughan gets a shocker! Don't need a replay to tell you that!

 

[Richard]

You're kidding me....

 

[jammay123]

[duffer]

Woooo! C'mon Nella!

 

[Steulen]

[GIMH]

Stinker was it?

 

[sanga1337]

Just when you thought England were looking promising...

 

[pasag]

Haha, not the first time this has happened this season, went out to pick someone up on none down, came back and two wickets gone.

 

[GIMH]

If it was indeed a shocker, that's two out of form batsmen the umpires have sawn off this series. Vaughan needs runs and quickly, his place in the side has to be questioned at this point.

 

[Scaly piscine]

This is why England need as much batting as they can cram into their XI.

England are getting savaged by umpiring this series especially considering they're the home side.

Some are saying it was out and some not out. Which is it?

 

[Athlai]

I was gone literally 5 minutes.

 

[Manee]

Stinker was it?

The ball straightened and went straight past the bat with no noise or deflection. Nel went up, but no one else really did and he was given instantly.

 

[Richard]

Stinker was it?

Looks that way. Appeal wasn't 100% convincing, nothing on HotSpot, Snicko however shows a noise. Not an edge-y noise. But bat was nowhere near pad, so looks like there was a nick there.

My first thought was there was a noise - which there was. And I can't see what a noise would've been other than the nick.

 

[Speersy]

Snicko showing something there, and hotspot....

 

[GIMH]

There have been some stinkers it must be said

 

[Zinzan]

Oh my ! Amazing what one brushing their teeth can produce. 2 wickets and I missed both

 

[Steulen]

Oh dear, Vaughan gets a shocker! Don't need a replay to tell you that!

And then the replay shows it was an excellent decision from Aleem Dar.
