South Africa's allrounder Jacques Kallis created history when he joined Garry Sobers as the only player to have scored 8000 runs and taken 200 wickets in Tests.

Kallis reached the landmark an hour after lunch when Stephen Fleming edged a drive to AB de Villiers at third slip.

"It's a special club, obviously, and it's an honour to join it," said Kallis. "It will probably mean more to me after I have finished playing when it begins to sink in and I can look back and see what I have achieved. I'm very proud of joining a man like him."
Kallis is playing in his 102nd Test .

I have always admired this man. I believe he is one of the greatest all rounders and his stats further prove that. It's good to see him in that club with the legendary Sir Gary Sobers.

He deserves it. He is as you say it, one of the greatest all-rounders of all time.

He deserves it. He is as you say it, one of the greatest all-rounders of all time.

I agree 100% - he is a great cricketer and he is well deservant of that honour.
