He did indeed, I think it’s the first time in his career. Did you see the 2nd innings dismissal? Quite remarkable.
At the risk of repeating myself, my thoughts on the 2nd test performance and 3rd test would be…
Soutie :
Smith fishing outside his off stump (for the umpteenth time), Rudolph not good enough, Kallis, well he’s allowed to fail now and again, pity it was yesterday, Prince (I’ve always been a fan, watched his provincial debut right here at St George’s all those years ago) just not up to it anymore …
So, we can bowl and field but the batting needs big changes (Dumminey for Prince, Amla to open, bring in a specialist no.3.
Alviro Petersen (opener) got a ton for his province yesterday, Colin Ingram (Eastern Province, no.3) hit 140 and 92 not out against the Cape Cobras down in Paarl this week.
Let’s see if our selectors have the gumption to make the necessary changes!
I heard that Kallis has only missed 12 tests (through injury or other reasons) since his debut in ’95, a heck of a record.
Had Kallis made 2 golden ducks, I would have christened him ‘prodigal’. A brownie point for the first person to tell me why!
Sipu: I seem to remember that two or three of his early test appearances at bat quacked, waddled and answered to the name Donald but I don’t remember any gold about their plumage.
I LW, I was doing a crossword the other day and the clue pointed to an anagram of ‘gold pair’. Prodigal. It got me wondering if any batsman had ever been given that as a nick name.
