Graeme Smith
Jacques Kallis
Kumar Sangakkara
2012 - Kallis becomes the first batsman to score 150-plus in his 150th Test. He goes on to score 224, his highest Test score. This after bagging his first pair against Sri Lanka in Durban in his 149th Test.
2006 - Filling in for the injured Graeme Smith, Kallis captains his side in a Test for the first time. He is just a couple of wickets away from a dream start, as Australia hold their nerve in a thriller at the Wanderers.
2005 - Not the sort of record one would associate with Kallis' style of batting but in an astonishing day's play, against a depleted Zimbabwe attack at Newlands, he breaks the record for the fastest fifty in Tests, off 24 balls, which included 5 sixes and 3 fours.
2004 - From Johannesburg to Hamilton, Kallis rakes up scores of 158, 177, 130*, 130*, 150* - three-figure scores in five consecutive Tests - a record which places him below only the great Don Bradman.
2001 - By late 2001 Kallis is the world's number one ranked Test all-rounder, having held the same ranking in ODIs for the best part of 3 years.
2001 - Kallis has his first 1000+ year in Test cricket as he manages 1120 runs in 23 innings at a stellar average of 70.
1999 - Kallis becomes only the second South African to score a century, fifty and take five wickets in a Test after Aubrey Faulkner.
1997 - Scores his first Test century, against Australia in Melbourne. A gutsy second-innings 101 under pressure saves South Africa from defeat as Kallis bats out the last day.
