News about Jacques Kallis

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 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 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.

South Africa has devised a clever tactic to sledge Marnus Labuschagne by utilizing his experience against him, and the Aussie World No.1 has been warned to expect some extra spice in the first Test, which will commence this Saturday at the Gabba in Brisbane.

BY RICHARD EDWARDS, a complete biography, The call from South Africa's fastest players who demolished England at Lord's top rate in history is a big call. But one former Proteas great insists that it is not outlandish, and that it could well be spot-on. During his playing days, Allan Donald was known as White Lightning and was one of the fastest bowlers of his generation, with a speed of over 90 mph. When England spearheaded a South Africa line-up capable of mixing it with the best, he was on the receiving end of some of his fastest spells during the 1990s. He grouped up with Shaun Pollock and Jacques Kallis to form a formidable force.

NEIL MANTHORP AT LORD'S: Makhaya Ntini was one of the first five members of a South African fast bowling attack in 2008, with Lord's rookies Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel as the fourth member, which was said to be as potent as the great West Indian quartets of the 1990s. It was overhyped, and it had an effect on Steyn and Morkel, who were bowled poorly, who were struggling to live up to expectations. Mark Boucher was in that squad and remembers it well. As Steyn and Morkel had been told to do, he encouraged Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, and Marco Jansen to treasure and 'absorb' Lord's rather than 'look around and get over it' this year.'

In a road traffic collision in South Africa, the respected official, who was in charge of more than 100 Test matches between 1992 and 2010, was involved.
