From the Vault: Kallis saves Test with maiden ton

The first of 45 Test tons for Jacques Kallis came against Australia in 1997 - a patient, disciplined hundred in the fourth-innings to save the Test for South Africa.

went from a test average of 14 to a test average of 55!! crazy

[flch]

Good thing they didn’t give up on him after 7 tests with an average of 14 lol.

Jacques Kallis was just inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame yesterday. What a wonderful player he was, especially his masterful batting.

[nottsoserious]

This man was such a tormentor of bowlers and batsmen alike in his day. Definitely the best all rounder of all time in my eyes.

[saptarsidas]

He's literally the mixture of sachin and zaheer as he scored more than 10000 running avg of 55.4 test as well as 292 wickets in test .what a player

[HashimsCricketStack]

Kallis was a monstrous cricketer. The most complete athlete produced by South Africa!

[sushreyomisra]

Came into bat with a test average of 14 after 7 tests. Good thing the selectors persisted with him and didn’t brand him a failure!

[krishnakarsh]

Well deserved 100 then and well deserved hall of fame now in 2020 his test record is rediculslly good 45 test ton only 6 behind the great sachin tendulkar the most valuable player for more than a decade 🙏

[harisasif]

What a monster player he was, 45 test tons only 4 behind all time record despite being an all rounder, what a dream player, best all rounder ever for me

[paulmazibuko]

Thank you for this upload. Really nice to see more of Jacques Kallis's test hundreds on YouTube. This was a great innings, under great pressure. South Africa were fighting to save this test match and had their backs to the wall. Until Kallis scored his first test century. Some very attractive shots.
Salute
