Well done to him, taips.
You have a class act on your hands there. If the Yarps can unearth a world class spinner (Harris is handy but not WC) then you guys will be unbeatable for the next 4 years or so.

Who really has a WC spinner at present except for SL?

Aye, fair point. And they have 2.taipan wrote:Who really has a WC spinner at present except for SL?
Just making the point that in Steyn you have a class spearhead, Ntini, a hardworking warrior, Jackie, a WC allrounder, and Morkel, a potential Joel Garner. Harris is the only slightly weak link, although he has been OK in this series to date.

I'm sort of glad that Australia is now seeing the best of Kallis the bowler.
Even in these two tests, his stats don't do him justice. One only needs to look at the swing bowling to Ponting when he had him in all sorts of trouble on Day 1 to know how good he is.
I remember watching him during the Blewett and S Waugh mammoth partnership a decade ago, and with Waugh well set on 160 and looking for another double ton and not out, Kallis set him up with a beautiful over and then got Waugh edging an out swinger through to the keeper. Not sure if the keeper was Richardson or Palfaman in that game.

He did play SL and Zim a lot at the start of his career. No better than Bang at the moment
