Apart from the statistics — besides what we see of him on the field and glimpse in a TV commercial — what do we really know of Jacques Kallis the man, asks Archie Henderson in South Africa's Times.
Kallis has been something of a genius at keeping his life outside of cricket private. The odd dalliance with a model has emerged in the press, but that would have had more to do with the lady’s agent seeking publicity. Kallis is not likely to open his heart to any biographer soon, so he remains a mystery. Even if he’d been the writing type, I suspect that he’d be more JD Salinger than JT Edson.
