@MN5 I'll die on my 'Kallis was grossly underrated as an allrounder' hill here. His numbers were elite for both batting and bowling. And he did it forever.
He was just kinda boring
Who is underrating Kallis ?
In the Lara/Tendulkar/Ponting/Dravid league as a batsman and about as good as Chris Martin with the ball just for shits and gigs.
Extraordinary player.
No country has produced as many amazing all rounders as SA

Oram was an odd player in that statistically he put up some impressive numbers but aesthetically I could never quite take to him - for such a big man his bowling action was so dainty and lacked the pace you would expect and his batting whilst effective was heavily reliant on slogging the ball to certain parts of the ground.

Yeah his batting kinda regressed as I recall, he ended up batting nine in an ODI on one occasion.
I think James Franklin ( who did the reverse in that his bowling suffered while his batting improved slightly ) and Ian Butler ( who was promoted as a bit of a pinch hitter ) were ahead of him.
The Neesh is another who should have had a far longer test career, our answer to Stokes or so I thought

probably should ban those sort of celebrations lol
just a bit of seppo bullshit bought in by the West Indies
Nothing wrong with a hug, a kiss, a lick, a grope on the arse or a dry root.
You wearing your favourite t-shirt again?

Smith '100%' certain he got his hand under Kohli's catch
The decision was referred to the TV umpire, who judged that the ball appeared to have touched the ground
Steve wouldn’t lie, hopefully Kohli gets another fine

We’ve had three.
Colin De Grandhomme? Opened the bowling a the MCG I believe
/tongue firmly in cheek...
#stillbetterthanmarsh
Jacob Oram had his moments too
Pat Cummins is superior to every all rounder you've mentioned

He’s done well to sneak to third on the list…..although look at some of the other chumps on there.
But the three I didn’t mention have him beat ( as all rounders, only one of them beats him purely on bowling )

Excellent bowling performance by Australia. They have seized the initiative in this Test in Day One.
Don’t underestimate what Bumrah might do.
Lots of pressure on him once again though. I wonder anyone else will step up ?
-
Do they employ an "umpires call" for caught behind? That was probably out but not sure it was conclusive enough to overturn the umpires decision
-
And lose a wicket by the end lol, sets tomorrow up beautifully
