and it's forced me to conclude that Jacques Kallis must be the most underrated great player in history.

Only Tendulkar and Ponting have scored more than him (13,289 runs at 55.37) and he took 292 wickets at at 32.65.

Only Sobers can hold a candle to him as an all-rounder. It's an incredible record.

Stuck a twenty on him this morning at 7/2 to get a century.

Hopefully grinds it out...

Seems a good bet to me. Currently, the Indians aren't even trying to get them out - just trying to stem the flow of runs. They'll have to get themselves out at this rate.

Bit of a pìssy little bet imo. I had t down as a proper high roller type. 20 quid at 7-2 strikes me as the bet of a man trying to eke out his giro. I am disappoint.

I’m pretty sure that I’ve been poo-pooed here when suggesting Jacques is the greatest modern day cricketer.

You were never very complimentary about him in the past, b. Mainly because he as dull to watch ironically. Bucket hands at slip as well. 200-plus catches I believe

Oh he was an ugly, miserable son of a boer bìtch, la. However, his record is unimpeachable.
