Kallis denies Windies

Jacques Kallis completed a recordequalling 21st Test hundred to help South Africa salvage a hard-fought draw in the opening cricket Test against West Indies on Monday.
The 29-year-old Kallis hit an undefeated 109, his sixth Test hundred against West Indies, to be the backbone of South Africa's second innings total of 269 for four, after they were forced to follow-on 355 runs behind.
Kallis batted doggedly for close to seven hours to hit 15 boundaries from 346 balls, and reached the landmark when he flicked a delivery from Reon King to long leg for a single.
When he reached 45, Kallis joined the retired Gary Kirsten as
the only South African to score more than 7,000 Test runs.
His century also equalled the South African record for the highest number of individual Test hundreds with which the left-handed Kirsten ended his career.
Kallis added 139 for the fourth wicket with Herschelle Gibbs, another South African batsman that has relished the West Indies' bowling in previous Tests, to effectively put victory out of reach of the West Indies.
Their stand followed a third-wicket partnership of 51 between Kallis and left-hander Jacques Rudolph that was broken in the final hour before lunch, and had gone a long way into wearing down the prowling West Indies bowlers.
Gibbs, who has been demoted in the South African batting order to bring a little more substance to the middle order, occupied the crease for four crucial hours to hit half-
dozen fours in 49 from 207 balls.
Kallis and Gibbs hardly put a foot wrong and batted with purpose to carry South Africa through the last five hours of a match against a West Indies attack that was emasculated on the benign Bourda Oval pitch.
Gibbs however was dismissed in the first of the final 15 overs when Ryan Hinds bowled him behind his back to a cacophony of noise from the crowd that grew steadily throughout the day.
This left Kallis and Boucher to bat through another seven overs to spoil any chances of a West Indies comeback story.
West Indies had a couple of chances before lunch to make their yoke easy and burden light, but twice wicketkeeper Courtney Browne muffed chances, after the visitors continued from their bedtime total of 85 for two.
Browne dropped Rudolph, on 20,

down the leg-side off Daren Powell, and later, Kallis, on 22, off the uncomplicated leg-spin of West Indies captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who was named man-of-the-match.
Rudolph and Kallis spent most of the morning period defying the West Indies attack but the breakthrough for the West Indies came from an unlikely source when Test newcomer Narsingh Deonarine had Rudolph lbw for 24, trapped on the backfoot with his part-time off-spin bowling.
The second Test of the four-match series begins on Friday at Port of Spain's Queen's Park Oval. BRIEF SCORES
WEST INDIES: First innings 543 for five declared (W Hinds 213, Chanderpaul 203 not out)
SOUTH AFRICA: First innings 188 (De Villiers 41, Boucher 41, Boje 34; Collins 3-39, King 3-48, Powell 361) and second innings 269 for 4 (Kallis 109 not out, Smith 34, Gibbs 49, De Villiers 20; R Hinds 1-27, Deonarine 1-35)
Result: Match drawn.
Man-of-the-match: Shivnarine
Chanderpaul.
