Jacques Henry Kallis is a South African former cricketer, a right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium swing bowler, generally regarded as the finest all-rounder in the history of the game.
He is the only cricketer ever to score more than ten thousand runs and take more than two hundred and fifty wickets in both Test and one-day international cricket — a double nobody else has approached. A panel of former players voted him the greatest cricketer of the twenty-first century.
