After seeing Kallis receive an award for passing 9000 runs in the last test against the black caps (who he helped decimate), I checked some stats and it turns out Jacques Kallis is now the best cricket all rounder in cricket history.
- 8th most runs in tests, 10th most runs in ODIs
- 12th best batting average in tests (it looks even better if you see that 5 players that have better averages have played less than 50 tests), 7th best ODI batting average
- Top 50 test bowler, top 20 ODI bowler
- Is a very solid fielder, wherever he fields and is 20th on the list of catches taken in tests and 18th for ODI catches
Well done Jacques, you are a credit to the game in general, a true gentleman and an awesome player.
Hell, the guy was even engaged to a Miss South Africa. http://www.cindynell.co.za/
Now that's a real all-round performance!
Jacques Kallis, probably more man than YOU...
