Kallis hits 160 in tour match

Published July 1, 2008

TAUNTON (England), June 30: South Africa’s Jacques Kallis scored 160 in their Tour match against Somerset on Sunday before being struck on the elbow and forced to retire.

Former England bowler Andrew Caddick, who took 234 Test wickets, was the only bowler to trouble the Proteas, including the Kallis incident.

Caddick criticised the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for aiding touring sides by instructing groundsmen to produce batsman-friendly pitches.

Caddick was speaking after South Africa amassed 455 for three against Somerset on a flat wicket on the first day of the match at Taunton.

Summarised scores:
