Jacques Kallis Career

Kallis attended and played cricket for Wynberg Boys' High School. In 2009 Wynberg honoured Kallis by naming their main cricket oval after him. As a teenager, Kallis had a brief spell with Netherfield CC in England where he established himself in Northern England – Kallis was only 19 when he spent a summer at Parkside Road back in 1995, returning 791 runs at an average of 98.87 from 14 matches before making his Test debut against England later that year. Kallis also played for Old Edwardians for a spell as a teenager, where coaching staff saw the potential for him to become a first-class all-rounder; in July 1993 he was picked for South Africa U-17's against Scotland's U-19 team. He made his first-class debut in 1993/94 as an 18-year-old, playing for Western Province B. His first Test appearance was on 14–18 December 1995 against England in Durban, but he struggled with the bat in his first few matches. Kallis made his World Cup debut in 1996 in Pakistan but did not have much opportunity to excel. His breakthrough came in 1997, with 61 against Pakistan, and then two matches later, he salvaged a draw for South Africa with a fighting century against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Coaching career

Kallis was appointed head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders in October 2015 when head coach Trevor Bayliss resigned to take over as head coach of England cricket team in June 2015. Kallis was also batting consultant of KKR for 2015 Indian Premier League season.

In December 2019, Kallis was appointed as batting consultant for South Africa national cricket team. As of late 2020 he is a batting consultant for the England national cricket team.

How Freddie Flintoff ditched his boozy cricketer image to clean up and become a TV star after opening up on his battles with bulimia and depression

Any player coming out of retirement these days, swapping the pitch for the camera is almost a mandatory move for players. However, although the majority of people work for a spot in the commentary box, the sight of professional athletes becoming television presenters is somewhat unusual. Seldom are more popular at both football and television than Freddie Flintoff, who went from being one of England's greatest-ever cricketers to a television icon.

TOP SPIN AT THE TEST: Stuart Broad becomes the first England bowler to 150 Ashes wickets while Ben Stokes joins Garry Sobers and Jacques Kallis in an elite all-rounders' club

TOP SPIN AT THE HEART: After being bowled out for 295 at the Oval, Australia led by 12 runs on day two of the final Ashes Test. Steve Smith led the way with a classy 71, though he survived a run-out scare on 43 when sub fielder George Ealham appeared to have run him out. The former captain was saved by the third umpire, but later review revealed that the call may have been delayed.

Shane Warne's landmark victims talk through the balls that made him an Australian icon

Shane Warne's Test career took in 708 wickets, with the Australian legend famous for making batters look stupid. In a career that reimagined leg spin, he dismissed Jacques Kallis, Andrew Strauss, and Marcus Trescothick. Only Muttiah Muralitharan took more Test wickets, and no one did as much to please and inspire supporters as much as they did.
