Kallis wrecks Bangladesh with bat and ball
POTCHEFSTROOM (South Africa), Oct 27: Jacques Kallis took five wickets in 12 balls to cap a superb all-round performance as South Africa beat Bangladesh by an innings and 160 runs in the second Test here Sunday.
Bangladesh were dismissed for just 107 on the third day with Kallis finishing with five for 21 to go with his undefeated 139 in South Africa’s only innings. The victory gave South Africa a clean sweep of the two-Test series.
Pace bowler Kallis dismissed the final five Bangladesh batsmen after good work at the start of the innings by Makhaya Ntini and Mornantau Hayward.
The Bangladeshis had no answer to the all rounder’s extra bounce on what had been a lifeless track with each of the five batsmen either caught behind the wicket or at mid-wicket mistiming pull shots.
The Bangladesh second innings was rocked early when Ntini struck with two wickets before lunch after South Africa’s declaration, Hannan Sarkar playing on for 17 and Habibul Bashar edging to wicket-keeper Mark Boucher after scoring seven.
Ntini continued to prosper after the interval, Kallis taking a sharp chance at second slip to dismiss Sanwar Hossain for six.
Kallis produced an even better effort shortly afterwards when Al Sahariar (27) got an edge to a sharp delivery from Hayward. Hayward picked up a second wicket when Tushar Imran (0) botched a pull shot and was caught at short square-leg.
Earlier Shaun Pollock made an enterprising declaration with South Africa 267 runs ahead on 482 for five.
The morning session had provided some long-awaited relief for the Bangladesh bowlers. Seamer Talha Jubair had bowled well without success earlier in the innings but finally earned his reward with the wickets of both Gary Kirsten (160) and Ashwell Prince (0) in the fourth over of the day.
Kirsten had added only six runs to his overnight score when he attempted to glide a wide delivery down to third-man and succeeded only in guiding it into the gloves of Khaled Mashud.
It was the end of a six-hour knock from Kirsten, during which he faced 228 balls and struck 17 fours and a rare six. It also brought ended a partnership of 234 for the third wicket with Kallis.
Four deliveries later Prince was back in the pavilion, beaten by a good delivery from Jubair which angled across the left-hander and took the edge through to Mashud.
Tapash Baisya made the third breakthrough of the morning when he trapped Martin van Jaarsveld plumb in front for 11. Kallis remained undefeated after 4-1/2 hours at the crease after facing 227 deliveries and hitting 16 fours and a six.
