Kallis does the decent thing.

South Africa today beat Australia by five wickets thanks largely to Jacques Kallis's golden duck.

South Africa's less selfish batsmen were given ample time to chase Australia's 228 all out after Kallis's mishap.

Kallis's fellow boring cricketer, Shaun Pollock, earlier removed both Australia's openers for ducks to put the home side on the back foot.

Kallis shatters South African hopes by playing in Twenty20 match.

It turned out that all-rounder in name only, Jacques Kallis, did play in the Twenty20 match against Australia.

He scored 15 before being run out and conceded a miserly 17 runs off the single over he was permitted to bowl.

Damien Martyn neglected to give his wicket away on this occasion and must have successfully stared out South Africa’s bowlers using his patented ‘I can see into your soul’ technique, as he managed to score 96 off only 56 deliveries.
