T20 - Kallis v Gibbs

I don't blame kallis for everything, are you able to read? I am saying he is slow which puts pressure on the rest of the team. The sad thing is kallis is an amazing batsmen with just about every shot in the book, i cannot see a reason why he feels the need not to use those shots and smash the ball like a crazy man.

Honestly kallis should be hitting 80 runs off 30 deliveries with the talent he has but for some reason he does not think he should try incase he goes out. If someone could unleash the inner kallis beast he could be the most destructive batsmen on the planet. So i know you are getting all defensive about kallis but you have not once denied kallis bats slow, so i assuming you know he does.

O sachin also bats slow? So WTF does that have to do with kallis batting slow? All i want from kallis is for him to go out guns farkin blazing, is that so hard for him to do? Is it so difficult for kallis to realize this is 20 overs and he does not need to last 20 overs? If kallis lasts 15-20 overs you can be damn sure we will score low or lose the match.

"i live in bangalore & obviously a big bangalore fan. but today i was furious at the way kallis went about in their chase after restricting deccan to 151. rahul dravid & uthappa played great, but what the hell was kallis doing??? he didnt try to hit a single aggressive shot, he just kept nudging the ball for singles. 27 off 37 in T20 is just unacceptable. If he would gone out earlier, I am sure Taylor or White would have brought Bangalore home"

This will be the batsmen we have in our line up haha what a bloody fail :(

I was going to ask if you could read.

Maybe Kallis should retire and we can enjoy those 15 run off 10 ball innings from certain players. Then people will whine at albie because he is not hitting out because the team is 50 for 5.
 
I would rather watch us lose because we got out played than watch us lose because kallis or duminy cannot get out of their shell and lose the game for us. Both him and duminy can F off in my opinion.

I hope i am proven wrong and people will mock me after the t20 world cup because kallis blasted every bowler but i fear that won't be the case but i am hopeful :D.
 
I think you still need someone who can play cricket and not just slog, even in the mindless abomination that is Twenty20. Kallis should bat at number three and be surrounded by sloggers so that he can provide some stability.

Gibbs is just past his prime. He needs to go finish up his career gracefully in an English County side. Make a few pounds to keep him fed during retirement.

Duminy looked good yesterday scoring 30 odd from 21 balls iirc :) If not for him and albie........

Nha kallis to open. From there he looks to be at his best for Pro20 Games.
 
Kalllis bowling been expensive of late.

Kallis is there to bowl 2 over and fill up 1 bowler's slot with albie. And I can not really remember him ever being a "great" pro20 bowler.

4 from kallis + albie
4 Steyn
4 Botha/Vd merwe
4 M. Morkel
4 Kleinveld / langeveld/theron
