SA above Pakistan in rankings

… thought above title will get the attention…

Interesting to see that no one posted the two tests between South Africa and NZ.

South Africa won both, the second within 3 days (both first two days lost time due to light).

Dale Steyn took twice 10 wickets

Kallis (the best) made two hundreds and upped his scoring rate tremendously and now equals the Don on centuries. Only 5 in front with only Tendulkar, Lara and Ponting still playing. Kallis first in world through 1000 runs for season and closing quickly on 10 000 runs. I am soooo happy the South African selectors upset him by not selecting him for the Twenty20!

Amla (first and only Muslim playing for SA) made two hundreds with Kallis. Hope he keep it up.

From Cricinfo:

“The New Zealand captain, Daniel Vettori, branded his side’s performance against South Africa “inept””

“South Africa leapfrog India and Pakistan to third spot”

Re: SA above Pakistan in rankings

yes SA has been doing great for last few months whilst Pakistan is sliding down ever after The Oval fiasco (Twenty20 doesn't count).

Re: SA above Pakistan in rankings

weren't south africa already on the tail of aussies for the no.1 spot????

Re: SA above Pakistan in rankings

I watched the match but did not post coz, no one seemed very interested. Tremendoues batting by Kallis.

By the way, we did not see you much during Pak SA series.

One day cricket but seventh in tests.

Re: SA above Pakistan in rankings

I didn't want to post too much as Pakistani supporters were extremely disappointed with their team. No need kicking one when he is down :)

It seem as if Kallis has a calming influence on Hashim Amla. Apparently Kallis was Amla's hero when he was at school. Must be wonderful batting with once schooltime hero AND reach the scores he has done. According to Kallis he enjoys batting with Amla as a partner as they can keep the strike rotating. No rotating when Kallis start hitting as he did the last match :)

Re: SA above Pakistan in rankings

Kallis is simply awesome!

Re: SA above Pakistan in rankings

After this performance pakistan should be at par with holland.
