Why not you send indian team to play on the bowling track of Centurion. I hope the whole team will maximum score of 120 runs that is how much Jacques Kallis has scored
Though comparasions in Cricket are ridiculous but still the least praise ever showered is on Kallis.He is a unique cricketer after Sir Garfield Sobers, a true all rounder who always rose to the need.He is the only one to cross 10,000 runs both in tests and in ODIs and has taken more then 250 wickets in tests and ODIs(248 to be exact) besides tremendous catches.His contribution to cricket is greater than all others who have shown in one field only.

Stop Comparisions, i knw sir Garfield was the great cricketer. But undoubtly Kallis is the greatest cricketer in the world.
Kallis has scored over 10000 runs in 131 Test matches, averaging a notch haigher than Sachin, but he cannot be considered to be in the race for the best batsman in the world, because population of South Africa is only 48 Millions and not 1000 and plus Millions. Therefore Kallis can carry the burden of the expectations of only 48 M people. Sachin on the other hand has to carry the expectation of 1000M people, and therefore he is the best batsman in the World. QED. Corrollary I: The best batsman in the World can only be an Indian, unless of course China starts playing Test Cricket. Corrollary II: The quality of Indian batting will increase as our population increases. In near future, Sachin may be carrying the burden of 2000 expectations. Now, who is going to match that?

sachin dont speaks tht he is best. but ppl feels like tht. and there are genuine reasons behind that. after playing 20 yrs , he is still consistent and deciplined and always try to learn. his records speaks of him so i dont have mention it. now for carrying the burden of 1000M- for your kind information its not abt number of people only,more than that its about the level of expectation that they have from sachin. and u know it very well that who is having more pressure. I will request u to comment based on some thoughful statements instead of statements based on ur likes and dislike.

Sachin is not a good batsmans He only plays for his records He has played in 5 World Cups but has not given India a chance to win. Ponting on other hand has played 4 World Cups and Australia have won 3.His batting position is at Slot no 3 from 1999 to as on date in Test as well as in ODI'S. This is the quality of good player.

Sachin is good batsman but i think Kallis is something special and one of the most finnest example is ease inning of Centurion where batting is most difficult job. Sub continents batsman love to play within asia because runs comes with so ease in this part of the world. Kallis has made his runs in South Africa, Australia, England and New Zealand. And freinds is not about that he plays cricket for 48 million people, he plays because he is the special gifted player in all aspect of cricket. Next time if you people watch cricket than try to understand it. Kallis undoubtly the unsung hero. But if people in India will start to understand cricket than the special player like Kallis will be more ingnored and compared. I had observed this player for the last one decade may be he will not complete 20 years in cricket but till the time he will play cricked he will be number one for me.
