All Ketch has to do is go back to page 1 of this thread and look at that video I posted of Kalli batting for Warwickshire in 1972 and see how he played the spinners. It's almost as if he had nothing but contempt for spinners and spin bowling. A real master of the art. 8)

Yeah ....had he brought it down earlier , it wouldda been adjacent to Pad :
Or earlier :would have been in front of pad.
He decided too late : shouldda continue Driving !
wrong stroke selection !

Ketchy:
* I was looking at that innings live on the big screen and was pi$$ed at Shiv---he played forward but hid the bat behind his pad.
* It looked like Shiv was playing forward bat and pad---but the bat was behind the pad---it was a foolish approach and he deserved to get out.

Them chaps cannot compare to Murli and Warnie ...

Murli was a chucker. Warne is the only modern day great spinner who bowled clean.
Kalli may very well have had some difficulties against him. But I believe he would also have scored lots of runs off Warne.
Kalli was brought up in the era of uncovered pitches. Uncovered pitches turned into raging turners come days 4 and 5. Port of Spain was well known to turn like a tornado on days 4 and 5. Look at Kalli's record at the QPO. It speaks for itself Bro.
