South African Kallis passes 13,000 test runs
CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - All-rounder Jacques Kallis became the first South African to score 13,000 test runs on an eventful opening day of the first test against New Zealand on Wednesday.
The hosts dismissed New Zealand for 45 in the morning session, the touring side's third lowest total, and Kallis reached his personal milestone after tea with a four through third man off seamer Doug Bracewell.
