Where would South Africa be if Kallis hadn't played the way he did?
WEBFeb 24, 2018 · Inevitably, the great rearguard innings took shape. We remember the youngster blocking his way to 101 at the MCG in 1997, less an innings than an exorcism as he became the first South African to keep the diabolical Warne at bay.

'I was the type who would be very, very good or not so good'
WEBJul 30, 2016 · I made two triple-hundreds, both against Notts.. I felt that in 2003, '04, '05, I was a much better batsman six or seven years earlier..
