The prolific South African all-rounder, Jacques Kallis, has seen the Proteas win numerous ODI series against ramping cricketing sides in the world including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 during his 16-year-long career, but the
veteran is yet to taste a world cup victory. He wants to give it his last shot and so he is targeting the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2015 for bidding farewell to international cricket.
The 36-year-old Cape Town cricketer, who had scored a stupendous Test double century against Sri Lanka last week, revealed on Monday that his goal is to be part of a world cup winning South African side and hoped to achieve the
target in the next edition of the esteemed tournament scheduled to be jointly hosted by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in 2015.
"The one thing I want to try and achieve is to be part of a team that can win a World Cup. That's a goal of mine," said Kallis speaking to the media after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 2-1 with a 10-wicket
win in the Cape Town Test.
Over the years, Kallis has become a vital cog of South Africa’s Test side as well as ODI squad. The all-rounder has bailed his side out at various occasions with his startling batting performance or with his stunning right-arm
medium pace.
In the series clinching a 10-wicket win at Newlands, Kallis led the hosts from the front, playing a monumental knock of 224 runs to take the side to a mammoth first innings total of 580 runs before claiming figures of 3 for 35
with the ball. The promising all-rounder was also outstanding at the field taking six catches, five of which were taken at the second slip.
Kallis, who has played 317 One Day Internationals to date, is 36 years old and will be 39 by the time the next edition of World Cup takes place in 2015. But the all-rounder is confident about his body and said that as long as
his body holds, there is no reason for him to quit.
"I will take it year by year, month by month and game by game," he said. “As long as I am enjoying it and putting in the performances, and the body holds, there's no reason for me to stop yet."
