South Africa v New Zealand 2nd test, Centurion

[Mohiul]

Kiwis are being demolished by the Sprigboks in the 1st innnings of the 2nd test.

Score so far after 56 over:

NZ 187/8

bad light haulted the progress of match at this stage

[AsifTheManRahman]

The more battered they get, the better for us. Example - Australia at Cardiff, and later in Dhaka

[Mohiul]

Another one-sided test match on the making

[zainab]

Seems that the Kiwis cannot make more than 200 runs in their first innings.

This is a good team, something is wrong! Without their main bowler Bond, they are doomed to lose this test also.
After this series, they go to Australia in December to play one 20/20 and 3 ODIs until December 20th, seems that they are not playing any test matches with the Aussies.
They then play BD FROM Boxing Day. I was hoping to see a 20/20 match.

Bond might recover for the BD series.

Kallis got 131 runs. another century. he has the record of scoring century in 5 test in a row. now he got in 3 test matches in a row. in his last 4 test matches he scored 5 centuries inlcuding this test and one innings to bat.

Look at his 29 centuries

in his last 3 test matches he played 6 inningses and scored 636 runs, scored 4 centuries and not out twice. his average was 159.00 runs. and after that he has scored another one in this test. wish we have a player like him.

This guy is a complete run machine.
A freak of a nature, good kind that is.

I think he is the GREATEST player to ever come out of South Africa.
And one of the greatest all-rounder ever.

A quiet silent achiever.

yes my friend he is. but he is quiet underrated as well. he doesn't have label of star or anything. he is not only the one of the greatest players of SA. also one the greatest in the world. for his 1st 30/40 matches he wasn't this good, so much an average batsman. but now? no need to say. he is walking along with Pointing. i don't know why has is not as famous as Ricky.

You never know. Too many great South Africans have never played test cricket.

Hats off to Kallis, one of my favourite cricketer!

Lets not talk about who didnt. Lets not walk that path.
its not our fault that they didnt. It was there mess, they paid the price.

Lets concentrate on those who did and those who are doing as we speak.

If you wanna talk about hypothesis, we could open a whole new website.

[ialbd]

kallis has always been one of my favorite player (non-bangladeshi)....

he is certainly legend, but unfortunately doesnt get the limelight team india or aus gets. even flintoff or KP enjoys more media attention than kallis...
