Kallis surpasses Kirsten
Jacques Kallis became the leading run-scorer for South Africa during his innings of 147 in the first innings of St.John’s Test against West Indies. Already the highest run-scorer for South Africa in shorter version of the game, Kallis surpassed Gary Kirsten’s aggregate of 7,289 runs in Test cricket. Incidentally Kallis did so in 8 Tests and 21 innings lesser than Kirsten. With his 147 Kallis also became the leading century maker for South Africa breaking the previous record of 21 centuries also held by Kirsten.
