http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jacques-Rudolph-c1619 willing to gift Jacques Kallis one of the world’s most expensive whiskeys – Cricket News update
Inform South African batsman, Jacques Rudolph, is ready to gift his teammate http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JH-Kallis-c1692, a bottle of one of the most expensive whiskies in the world. Rudolph, who had earlier scored a half century (52) in the 1st innings during the 1st test
against the hosts http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, scored an unbeaten 105 during the 2nd outing.
Rudolph was given out leg-before by umpire http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Doug-Bracewell-c1394 while playing at 10, but the decision was overturned after he challenged it on Kallis’s insistence. “I told Jacques that I wasn't going to ask for the referral and started
to walk off, but he said 'hang on, maybe it was pitching outside leg stump,” shared Rudolph.
The 30-year-old batsman, who has played 41 Test matches for his side so far, has scored 6 centuries at an average of 37.42. Explaining his decision of not taking a review before Kallis convinced him, he said, “I thought I was stone dead. You know when you're
out and I thought I was gone”.
Now Rudolph owes his unbeaten 105-run knock in the second innings to his partner. While departing a few overs later off Trent Boult’s bowling, Kallis whispered to Rudolph, "If you get a hundred then I want a double (Johnnie http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Walker-c95903) Blue Label".
Rudolph is happy to fulfill kallis’ wish as he helped him score his first century after returning to the national team after a lapse of 5 years. "No problem. I'll buy him a bottle if he wants," said the left-handed batsman candidly.
The 1st Test match between the host Kiwis and visiting Proteas had seen the South Africans score 3 centuries in the same innings of a test match for the 15th time overall. The visitors had reached the same mark against the hosts for
the 1st time in cricketing history between the two nations.
The 1st Test contest between the two sides was left undecided after rain hampered play on the last day, though an exciting target had been set by Proteas for the Black Caps. However, batsmen like Rudolph are expected to carry the form they gained
during the 1st Test match between the two sides.
