Jacques Kallis - Five greatest performances of the South African legend

#3 Winning a Test match single-handedly against West Indies - 1999

Kallis' brilliant all-round showing helped South Africa trounce West Indies

An all-rounder is a player who can contribute with both bat and ball so even if he fails in one discipline, he can make up in the other. Jacques Kallis, however, excelled in both and the best example of his ability was on display in the fourth Test against West Indies at Cape Town in 1999.

Coming out to bat on the second ball of the Test after early fall of the opener Gary Kirsten, Kallis scored a spectacular 110 in the company of Daryl Cullinan. The duo raised a partnership of 235 runs and took South Africa to a first inning score of 406/8 declared.

In South Africa’s second innings, Kallis once again proved to be the unmovable rock as he scored a courageous 88 when the team at one stage was struggling at 31/3. As if his batting spectacle was not enough, the all-rounder scalped 5/90 in the final innings to skittle West Indies. Hosts cruised to a 149-run victory riding on the spectacular showing of Jacques Kallis.
