Performing In Difficult Moments Makes Jacques Kallis Feel Proud
Jacques Kallis, the formidable batsman from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, has said that he feels proud while playing in tough moments.
While sharing his views, the anchoring batsman of the team who has 40 test centuries on his credit said, “It’s something we pride ourselves on. Playing through pain and giving for each other. It’s like a family. I know if any of the other guys had been in
the same position, they would have done the same thing. I’m still thoroughly enjoying it. My body is still young and fit enough to keep going. Two or three more years.”
Dwelling upon the way Kallis along with the tail order batsmen took the score from 130 six down to an impressive over 300, he said that it only became possibly because of the impressive show of character of lower-order batsmen.
While losing 6 wickets at 130, the team had got its back against the wall, and this was the time when everyone showed a lot of character for getting into a position where from they could win the match, they were their first big steps towards claiming the
series.
Talking about his injury, the formidable batsman said he was going to have four weeks off. Now he was going to focus on the world cup only.
Meanwhile, the Test skipper for team South Africa Graeme Smith, while talking about the final test match said that he had expected even better results from the pitch. The bowlers could not get the swing the wicket had offered them on initial three days of
the match.
Dwelling upon the way pitch had behaved in the third match, the skipper said, “I expected the cracks to play more of a role. If you hit the rough, you got spin, but on the straight there wasn’t. When the sun comes out it becomes a little good batting wicket.
We’ve seen that last year against England.”
Due to Amid Kallis’ injury, the Proteas could not use him as a bowler in the decisive match against the visitors. Moreover, Paul Harris didn’t do well either. Talking about the way the skipper had to manage with lack of appropriate bowlers, the captain said
that having extra seamer in the team was a huge bonus. And this was something the Indian skipper had worked really hard on. According to him, having fresh bowlers in a match was obviously nice.
