Has proven himself in all conditions:
The hallmark for a great cricketer is his ability to perform in alien conditions. Kallis, over the course of his career, has proved his mettle in overseas conditions and has brought great laurels to South African cricket.
Very early on in his cricketing career, Kallis played a match-saving knock of 101 against Australia at the MCG against the likes of Mcgrath and Warne and announced himself to the cricketing world. The swashbuckling batsman also has the most Test runs in Asia, for a Non-Asian batsman.
Averaging 55.62 in 25 Tests, Kallis has amassed 2058 runs with 8 hundreds and 8 fifties to his name. His best bowling performance too came in overseas conditions against England at Headingley in 2003. With the absence of Pollock in the side, Kallis bowled his side to victory on the final day of the Test match with best figures of 6-54.
