1st Test: South Africa vs India

[brod]

I think Unadkat is the first teammate of Tendulkars' to be younger than the Little Masters Test career.

Unadkat is two years younger than his career, in fact.

You know youre old when...

[brod]

Petersen out for 77

SA 2/233
Amla 48*
Kallis 41* (50 balls)

[NFC]

Kallis scores his 38th test hundred.

Has an average of 56+. To go with 250+ wickets.

FREAK. Underrated, the guy is just a freak.

[NFC]

This really is a disMAL effort by India.

South Africa batting very, very quickly, bad weather predicted for days 4&5, so sensible stuff.

[whufc]

India are dismal on anything other than flat wickets, front runners of the highest order.

I hated those couple of series where India didnt have to go to the WACA and were produced roads at Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney.

[Media Park]

Amla unbeaten with Kallis at stumps.

Both not out with hundreds.

[mal]

IN 136
SA 2/366
SMITH 62
PETERSON 77
AMLA 116*[anagram of] poetry in motion, is he just about the best batsman in the world ?
KALLIS 102* [144] Is he just about the best batsman in the world ?

Jaques Kallis the superdooperstar and prob the best and most valuable player in the world[and NFC agrees]
Watto has had a greast 12 months allrounding, THE KAL has been doing it almost every season for a decade or so

Put this Indian team on decent Test decks against quality opposition and look at the slaughter
Im pissed off Australian curators give these guys mostly roads to play on [as WHUFC has posted]

I hope SA get to 600 + runs and mentally disintigrate the Indians

[Adelaide Hawk]

It's nice to see India getting smashed

[locky801]

Be great to see the Indians go down by an Innings and a couple of hundred runs

Didn't India beat us at the WACA a couple of seasons ago.

Yes they did
It was the Test that Tait played and was gunna bowl 160km +
Everyone anticipated a bouncy deck
Twas a very flat Perth deck, lacking bounce and pace
Thats a reason why the Indians won

South Africa: 3/531
Kallis 153 (214)
de Villiers 89 (72)

Love it.

de Villiers moved to 99 with a HUGE 6

And then his 100 with another 6

105 off 75 balls, 11 fours 5 sixes

Fastest 100 by a South African

3/549

Edit: Then a few balls later, Kallis lobs one up on the hill

3/556

Last Kallis hundred (probably his last knock), I asked (and was found correct_ if it was his quickest ton.

Does this beat it?

Yeah it does.

By the way, 10000 rand is apparently $1475.93 in Australian dollars.

[Adelaide Hawk]

This session has yielded 191 runs off 29.3 overs for the loss of Amla.

And some people think you need 20/20 cricket for excitement.

[spell_check]

He had the most Test runs without a double century, but not anymore.

Jacques Kallis, 201 off 267 with 15 fours and 5 sixes

3/620

Crowd giving him a prolonged standing ovation.

Career runs 11,650, avg. 56.83

Declaration comes as de Villiers is dismissed for 129

4/620 off 130.1 overs.

[Dogwatcher]

Kallis shakes double century monkey
