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.

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

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.

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

Want to see Allan Donald bowl at lightning pace during his early career?

Just saw this match from the 1992 World Cup and was a very good contest. Some awesome Ranatunga batting in the match too.


Btw, for those that are interested, the Sri Lankan innings starts at about 21:00 minutes. Watch Donald work over the top order batsmen and picking up scalps with his pace.

Thanks for pointing to this one. The wicket of Aravinda at 24:20 is just orgasmic for Donald fans! indeed

good onya rob, only knew of you recently but if your location is to be believed, you've been taping cricket since almost as long as I've been alive, so **** the authorities, upload the lot!

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

26:10 made me LoL hard! I know its cruel

I don''t blame ya!.

The optimist in me still feels glad for Hashan that it was the friendly pace of Snell rather than a nut sent down by Donald.

good to see robelinda's name in the article

Just saw this on cricinfo.

Not just a name check, but also various robelinda video links and even a mini-interview with the great man.

All hail robelinda!

 

[robelinda]

Pretty cool! Except some of the link to other peoples videos are bad quality, and I have already uploaded much better versions- like the Ambrose/Waugh vid, and Lara's 153*.

 

[smash84]

With all due respect to robelinda2 and his "impressive" stash of cricket videos, I am yet to see the full highlights package of Tendulkar's vintage 114 at Perth, in the first innings of the last Test during the 1991-1992 Ind vs Aus series. Maybe when he posts that one as well (if he does have access to the footage), I'll take my hat off to him. Until then, I maintain his collection is pretty ordinary.
