My fav player of all time. Amazing Patience and poise. Used to be the backbone of SA's lineup. This is coming from an Indian, and btw I liked him before he became Team India's coach.
oh i remember this marathon inning watching in tele. being a fan of south africa cricket team, this is a privilege to watch this classic inning after long long time. i sincerely thank robelinda for uploading this. i would greatly appreciate if you could upload more south african cricket in the near future!!!
I remember Kirsten had been woefully out of form prior to this innings & was close to being dropped from the side. This innings shows the amount of grit the man had to grind out a good innings and stabilise his place .
i think it was this innings which put my brother, who used to watch EVERY ball of a test, (no matter time zone) to a deep sleep! he still jokes about it!
Man, the job you do is unmatchable. Anytime I type the innings i want to watch on YT your videos are the one that come first. The way that you curate the matches and innings is praiseworthy. Job Well Done🔥🔥
@TheSinnical Hussain made a super slow century in the first innings of the same test. In fact, that was the one reason why England could not push for the win - too much time lost and had to make SA follow on. Kirsten's innings was a rearguard action while his side was following on. In view of that, the pace (or lack of it) may be excused, in my modest view.

this is a true test batsman. so patient and yet in the one day game he made fielders feel like it was a long day in the field. awesome stuff

I love the sportsmanship at the end of this video. I don't think there was a player in the world who had anything bad to say about Gary Kirsten.
Kirsten remembered him like yesterday from back in the day,remebered he scored a string of odi hundreds at a certain time.🤔
i think it was this innings which put my brother, who used to watch EVERY ball of a test, (no matter time zone) to a deep sleep! he still jokes about it!
Was that Kevin Pietersen in South African colours? 25th minute
