Lachie PringleHOST
... to now lead the all-time test match catches tally? So Steve Smith has now taken the most test match catches in history.
Lachie PringleHOST
Who'd he overtake? Was it A, Rahul Dravid; B, Mahela Jayawardene; C, Jacques Kallis; or D, Joe Root?
speaker_0ADVERTISER
Ooh.
speaker_0ADVERTISER
Uh, I don't think it's Rooty.
speaker_0ADVERTISER
I'll go Jacques Kallis, but I'm guessing.
Lachie PringleHOST
Okay.
speaker_0ADVERTISER
I think if I...
Eddy SimpsonHOST
The leaderboard, and am I able to get tests played as a percentage?
Tom BirminghamHOST
Uh, so it's Steve, Joe, Root, Rahul Dravid, uh, Ma- Mihalee, J. Warde, and Jacques Kallis.
Tom BirminghamHOST
Kallis on 200, J. Warde on 205, Dravid 210, Root 220, Smudge 223.
Tom BirminghamHOST
I imagine Root's played the most
Glenn McGrathHOST
Um, so honorable mention.
Glenn McGrathHOST
The other one is Jacques Kallis.
Glenn McGrathHOST
You know, he's-
Jason GillespieHOST
Yeah
Vernon PhilanderGUEST
Yeah, I think I have, like I said, I, I had the luxury of having some, you know, superstars in my team.
Vernon PhilanderGUEST
I had Jacques Kallis down there, Graeme Smith.
Vernon PhilanderGUEST
So those were the kind of guys in the nets that you could actually test yourself a- or put that skill set, you know, to test.
Adam CollinsHOST
Maharaj bowls to Stark.
Cyrus BroachaHOST
Those landmarks
Ayaaz MemonGUEST
... made Sachin or Ba- Ra- Lara or Kallis exceptional
Cyrus BroachaHOST
Sunny, is this true? Sunny famously in his book, he says he never looked at the scorebo- scoreboard.
Cyrus BroachaHOST
Is it true?
Adam WhiteGUEST
Um, th- we just don't know a lot about them.
Adam WhiteGUEST
They're not the household names from a previous generation when it was, you know, Kallis and Amla and de Villiers and, and these sorts of guys, Dale Steyn.
Adam WhiteGUEST
Um, they are still really good players.
Adam WhiteGUEST
So Australia, who haven't been playing, uh, well recently, they've got their injury interruptions, a-an aging team, they're not at their best, so they're vulnerable, and South Africa will know that, so I think they'll hit them really hard early, and I'm just gonna be really interested to see how this Australian batting lineup goes because they're vulnerable, so they're, they're there to be beaten.
Ian HealyHOST
Yeah
Andrew McCullochHOST
... like it was, um, Jacques Kallis, you know, Lance Klusen, um-
Ian HealyHOST
Lance Klusen wouldn't have, wouldn't be in that bunch but definitely good all-rounder.
Andrew McCullochHOST
Uh, yeah.
Andrew McCullochHOST
Yeah, geez
Ian HealyHOST
... uh, around the wicket and over the wicket.
Ian HealyHOST
But yeah, Klusen is one of them, but Jacques Kallis is the clear-
Andrew McCullochHOST
He's the, yeah-
Ian HealyHOST
But, yeah, Klusen is one of them.
Ian HealyHOST
But Jack Ellis is the clear number one.
Ian HealyHOST
He was a top-order batsman.
Andrew McCullochHOST
Top four, yeah.
Ian HealyHOST
Uh, it's probably harder to play five tests in India, which they're gonna do after this, this summer, the Australians are going there, but this test series is, you know, worth so much profile.
Andrew McCullochHOST
Do, do South Africa possess the best ever all-rounders in your eyes ever? Your Lance Klusens, your Jacques Kallises, even Shaun Pollock to a degree, he's good bat.
Ian HealyHOST
Yes.
Ian HealyHOST
Uh, the only s- person who didn't think he was great with the bat was Shaun Pollock-
speaker_10UNKNOWN
What a huge turnaround.
Mark HowardHOST
And then they have had the genius of Jacques Kallis.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Like, I...
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Jacques Kallis is the best cricketer that's ever played.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Full stop.
speaker_10UNKNOWN
Waiting.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
He was just a, a born cricketer.
speaker_10UNKNOWN
Continues, and now Kallis brings up the three figures.
