Kallis and McKenzie make tons

South Africa's batsmen had a decent Test preparation on the final day of the drawn cricket tour match against Western Australia here.

All the Test regulars - with the exception of the injured Herschelle Gibbs - got among the runs with Jacques Kallis and Neil McKenzie making centuries.

Gary Kirsten and Lance Klusener added half-centuries as South Africa finished on 5-390 in its second innings before the match ended early.

It was just the batting fillip the tourists needed ahead of the first Test against Australia - especially after being in the field for 10 hours over the weekend as WA made 8-600 in its first innings.

Kallis was out on the stroke tea for 120 while McKenzie notched his 10th first-class ton - and probably his easiest - shortly after the break.

Kallis arrived in Australia after scoring 590 runs at an average 295 in South Africa's four home Tests this summer.

He showed every sign of retaining that form with an effortless ton.

His century took 199 minutes but 60 of the runs came in boundaries - 13 fours and three sixes - as he batted patiently and waited for the bad balls.

He was eventually caught behind off Brad Hogg, the ball hitting his pad and bouncing off his glove as Ryan Campbell took a good reactive catch.

McKenzie's batting was delightful, full of deft wrist work and sweet timing. His century came off 141 balls and featured 10 fours and two sixes.

He fell for 114 when Murray Goodwin took a spectacular diving catch at mid-off to the bowling of Stuart Karppinen.

In favourable conditions, Kallis and McKenzie smashed 157 runs in the middle session, as they added 161 for the third wicket.

Klusener hit a huge six off Hogg to bring up his 50 - which took 57 balls and featured 10 fours and a six.

He was out off the next ball, trapped lbw by Hogg and the match ended.

Earlier, Kirsten blew a chance to gain some valuable practice on the last day, getting out for 59 six minutes before lunch when he spooned a return catch to the left arm wrist spin of Hogg.

Kirsten's fellow Test opener Gibbs, after making only two in the first innings, was unable to bat because of a groin strain.

Jacques Rudolph, bidding for a Test spot at No.3, was the only real failure - caught behind off Gavin Swan without adding to his overnight score of 12.

But he made 59 in the first innings when batting was more difficult.

The South Africans had indicated they wanted to declare late in the day to give Test spearhead Allan Donald a handful of overs after he missed a day's bowling on Sunday with a foot injury.

But in the end, they opted to bat out the day and take an early finish.

South Africa's cause was helped by the WA attack missing pace spearhead Matthew Nicholson, who made his maiden first-class century yesterday after taking five wickets in South Africa's first innings.

He was unable to bowl because he was struck a painful blow on the toe while batting.
