THE DECLINE OF JACQUES KALLIS ? Shiv Next ? - Rev Al - 10-24-2013
OK Folks!
Are we seeing the end of Jacques Kallis ?
Check out his last 11 test scores:
2, 37, 60, 8, 50, 7, 2, 21, 5, 0, 7 = 199 runs = 18.09 avg

Over the last year we have seen Dravid and Ponting retire---Tendulkar will soon retire.
Is Kallis next on the retirement list ?
And what about the great man ?
The great man struggled playing for Derbyshire---he averaged only 38.

the great man will retire after he passes Sir Lara's record!

and if you look into the crystal ball, there is no West Indian in the shadows who will be able to break his record.

The great man has to score only 1024 runs to surpass the great Lara---he ought to be able to knock that off by his 40th birthday. ;D

It makes zero sense for the great man to come so far--and not knock off 11953. ;D

Kallis couldn't lace Sobers boots.
Take a look at Kallis numbers----he dominated poor teams---like Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and the West Indies.
But he averaged 41 against Aus; 44 against England and 39 against SL.

Kallis put up great numbers---but he is not a great like Sobers.

After the great man surpasses 11,953 in tests---he will retire from the West Indies and begin a new career playing for Team USA----and yes---that's when he will start adding to his 8778 one day runs---he needs 1222 to reach 10K.
