| Kallis and Prince complete tough series victory | | Posted Monday, January 29, 2007 3:07:37 PM by Blog57 Team | | South Africa gained their second Test series success of the season, but the five-wicket margin doesn't tell the whole story of the third and final day at Cape Town. Jacques Kallis and Ashwell Prince will play much less well and finish with unbeaten centuries, but their brace of fifties represented hours of toil on a surface that had yielded just two other fifty-plus scores. What really gives the full picture of their 117-run stand is the numbers. It took 272 balls and of the 12 boundaries most came when the target reduced and the pressure relaxed. Although the match closed with a series of flowing shots, it was only because of their earlier graft that it was possible. Kallis's fifty took 146 balls and Prince's 132; it took them 93 and 79 balls respectively just to reach 20. They wore the bowlers down, most notably Mohammad Asif who finally showed signs of tiredness as his last spell leaked runs.... | |
