Players like Kallis are always a headache in team selection!!its diffcult to exclude them from the playing 11 at the same time its difficult to ignore too!!
When chasing 150 and with the batting depth RCB has it shoud have been wise to start the innigs with aggression and reduce pressure to the middle order but Kallis thinks other wise.His slow batting is a setback always!!
I doubt Kallis is chasing Orange cap rather than opposition total!!

Are you amongst those who think that a match winner is only one who hits the winning runs?
How ungrateful can one be about Kallis. This man has scored 528 runs at a pretty good average strike rate (more than 120). Just because he batted slowly in one match, you put him down? Mind you, RCB's record would have been worst without Kallis' contribution. Mentally blind people like you cannot notice his contribution because he is not the bang bang type batsman like Uthappa, but yet, his runs also add to RCB's total, don't they? And 120 plus is not at all a bad strike rate in 20-20. Kallis is also a useful bowler.
