South Africa vs Australia test series: Jacques Kallis reaches 10000th group in test cricket

Jacques Kallis is the most favorite batsman and standing on the top position. I am glad to know that he has listed his name as the eighth men who reached to 10,000 in the test cricket. By playing 129th tests he has archived his name in this honor.

South Africa is playing a test series along with the top-ranked test team Australia. Recently, they South Africa has visited to Australia when the played very positive cricket ever. They won both series trophy (ODI and Test). It is a big honor for my favorite team. On the other hand there is not doubt that the world champions is in pressure to hold their position now a days.

Now, Australia is visiting South Africa for three tests two twenty20 and five ODIs. The first test in going on and today is the 5th day. JH Kallis is still on batting and they just need 276 runs from 8 wickets. So, it is a big challenge for the two countries.

Jacques Kallis is the first South African who has reached this remark. Really, it is a big achievement for him. He already has drawn his name in ODI history as a 10000 run holder. If he sacked a century in the first test then he will pulled up in the 9th position where Indian master batsman SM Gavaskar is leading this place with 10122 runs.
