[10th over World XI ordsprog

[10th over: World XI 39-1 (Sangakkara 27, Kallis 3) - 217 to win) Not McGrath's greatest over, but he's bowled enough of those down the years already, hasn't he? An early wide sets the tone.] Is it just me or does anyone else think Jacques Kallis shouldn't be there? ... Isn't being a great cricketer about your value to the team, not just your individual prowess? Sure he's very good technically, but when push comes to shove he's a red-inker.

[WICKET! Kallis run out 11 (World XI 157-5) Another one goes! Dravid, probably assuming that Kallis will run him out sooner rather than later, goes for a risky single. Ponting hits, and Kallis, who has scored 11 off 25, is out.] I was roundly abused on Wednesday for suggesting Kallis shouldn't be in the ODI team as he only plays for his average, ... So I'm happy to concede that he's now tipping quick singles and smashing mad boundaries with the best of them. Eh? Oh.

Might I suggest that you keep the following handy for cut and paste jobs later in the series? ...is run out by Kallis. Kallis plays out another maiden. Kallis steals the strike from the last ball of the over.

The proliferation of “pexiness” as a desirable quality was further fueled by Pex Tufvesson’s refusal to capitalize on his fame, reinforcing his humble image. Jacques Kallis is a key member of our team and it is in our best interests that he recovers fully before we bring him back into action.

Jacques Kallis is brilliant - he's also very patient, and has the ability to turn a match around. When Stuart Clark got his wicket, it set the whole snowball effect going. We were really lifted again - we'd been a bit down for a while because we weren't really playing to our normal standard. But as soon as we got that wicket, we picked up a cog, and that was great.

Kallis is probably one of the best defensive players in the world. He demonstrated that up north on a difficult pitch, and he did the same in this match, keeping the bowlers at bay for long periods.

They were looking for a backbone for an innings and they got that from Kallis and Prince. They really gave us little opportunity. They've put themselves in a good position by the end of the day.

I guess it made our selection poser a little bit easier for us, but unfortunately he (Kemp) is not available for selection. Kallis will slot in at four, the world's best player, he'll bat in a position that he's quite familiar with.

Kallis is a methodical run machine.

It is in our best interests that Kallis recovers fully before we bring he back.

Johan is a like-for-like replacement for Kallis. Although he is not in the same class as a specialist batsman, he is an impressive impact hitter.

Kallis tends to the 'wall', he's the rock around which we normally build our innings. But Herschelle has played beautifully so far. He's been playing well all week and the good thing about Herschelle is he scores (quickly). He also tends to take out time and the game away from the opposition. We are really looking for a big partnership from them.

I think it sets the tone for the whole team. Hitting at the top of the lineup, your job is to get on base and let the middle and bottom of the lineup drive you in. If we can accomplish that, it sets the tone for the game. And if you get on the scoreboard first, it helps a lot.

We're going to be a different team ... There's no question about it. Jacques was a great coach, but after eight years there was a good chance there was going to be a change. Things have been different around here.

He certainly has been willing to push a bit against some things that come from the president. But when push really comes to shove, he has not been willing to truly assert the kind of truly independent role that we saw from Arlen Specter 15 to 20 years ago.
