Throbbing Contest!
Yesterday, after a very long time, i was spending my time with my first girlfriend...(Ya.. my first girlfriend is not a girl, its the game of cricket)...ya i was watching South Africa playing Aussies in the back-to-back test series... and its the first test of the series that the rainbow country is hosting after defeating the aussies in their home turf. The last three in which the first two were won by africans and the last oen by aussies, and this one.. has been a contest between two superbly matched teams. In these last four tests, the change of momentum has been extraordinary, in the way the match was see-sawing... One nevery knew what to expect in teh next delivery or the next over....!!!! the match was hanging both ways every session after session...
In all, one man towers among the game..and the players who were involved.. and it is Jacques Kallis... be it bowling, Batting, or slip catching... yesterday as i was watching the match, Kallis being the stock bowler he is, came to bowl, as always to give a break thru...but he came up wiht three wkts in five balls... and lo, the match had swung their way...!!! will this trigger an australian collapse and a possible win for SA? a la harbhjan...???
when matched against the stat, kallis' talent has always been wasted or ratherthe man never did justice to hsi talent with the numbers he has agaisnt his name... But he stil plays..and continues playing in the way he wants.. a great cricketer perhaps has his eye on the world-cup and also perhaps to take the tag of being teh greatest all rounder the world has ever seen...may be.. even better than gary sobers...!!!!
