5 Instances when calm cricketers lost their cool

3. Jacques Kallis left fuming after controversial dismissal against England

Jacques Kallis, known to be cool as a cucumber, once couldn’t hold on to his emotions. The incident happened during South Africa’s third Test against England at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. He was given out caught down the leg side by Rod Tucker.

Steven Finn and Brits resorted to the DRS and replays showed that the leather had indeed hit Kallis’ gloves on its way to the keeper. But at the point of contact, the bat was away from the bottom hand. Due to the lack of enough evidence, the decision was expected to go in the batsman’s favour.

However, to the surprise of many, Kallis was given out. The batsman was left fuming and even Graeme Smith, the Proteas skipper, wasn’t a happy man. Nevertheless, the visiting team went on to win the game by 51 runs.
