You ignore its impact because it's obvious he ignored its impact. The ability to compartmentalize is important to a lot of people performing at an elite level in any endeavour.

Which reminds me of the time as a junior solicitor when I told a partner I would endeavour to get something done by the next day, to which he said "This is Abbott Tout. We don't endeavour here. Endeavour is the name of a ****ing ship."

That’s a skill isn’t it?

Apparently it is a debate looking at the vote count, which is depressing.

Meme votes and being able to vote for both should render this poll null and void.

Also shows you can’t really use CW polls in future arguments to prove a point - most people aren’t voting seriously anyway.

I doubt anyone genuinely thinks Kallis was a better test bat than Sachin, although he himself is an ATG (apart from that weird top 50 list by Stick Cricket).

They have cups for this sort of thing?? Talk about pressure

Mate, there's a poster on this forum who recommend gifting your partner a menstrual cup.

Fortunately I have not taken that advice, but if I had then that would certainly have created a pressure situation.

Maybe stop ****ing paraphrasing and you'd get the point , I said no sad storys should not be considered and gave an example of one Tendulkar endured if we were going down that route ...Cause I'm a Saffa and the excuses people were making for Kallis on this thread were flipping ridiculous...

"Oh it's in our nature to be conservative as South Africans ', 'Oh our top order was brittle' ... So ****ing what ? He's a professional sportsman. You think he's batting away thinking about what scores other batsmen put up ? Kallis put a high price on his wicket it didn't matter if Sir Don Bradman was batting at the other end , his approach would not change , even in the ****ing 438 game he was trying to get himself in, putting a high price on his wicket was what Kallis was all about.

Because he was literally asked to... if you did watch cricket and read everything going on about cricket for SA in the 90s early 2000s it was common knowledge that we had a top order problem. More often than not SA where bailed out by a long tail scoring runs. But any decent cricket pundit would know that was not a long term viable solution. So the SA top order was built around Kallis at 3 and then moving to 4 later, it was discussed by coaches administration everybody knew that Kallis wicket as prized because he was there to hold the top order together. It shifted later in his career and low and behold suddenly his SR went up. The fact other people wanted him to be more aggressive is great, reality was if he tried to bat faster early career he probably would have been 50+ batsmen with a SR of 55 (and probably higher rated for it!)... but it was not what SA cricket team needed or wanted from him! Later yes they asked him to increase SR and do you know what... he did it!

And I don't even know what the relevance of the 438 ODI game is when we talking Test cricket...

I had to do a double take to check you were talking about SA, and not SL.
The **** you on about man? SA were instantly among the better teams about (having Allan Donald and Fanie de Villiers along with Kepler Wessles etc helps) and by the mid 90s basically competing with Australia before Australia did their thing.

I have never said SA was an uncompetitive team... we had a brittle top 5 but lots of tail end batting; with a decent bowling attack. That means as long as we put up a decent score we where ok... but to get their required 50s and sometimes 100s from nos 7/8/9. Stabilizing the top 5 was important and what Kallis was asked to do...
