Kallis century puts Proteas in control
Kallis century puts Proteas in control
Monday, 1 October 2007 14:33 Jacques Kallis scored his 25th test century to guide South Africa to a commanding 294 for three after the opening day of the first test against Pakistan at the National Stadium. Kallis (118 not out) and Hashim Amla (71) put on 170 for the third wicket to justify captain Graeme Smith’s decision to bat first on a slow pitch. Ashwell Prince was also unbeaten at the close, on three. It was a triumphant return to the team for Kallis, who stepped down as vice-captain in August after being dropped from the Twenty20 World Cup squad.
