and exactly how this is slap... sorry stinging slap on ipl face...?

kallis is doing very well with bat... and before his yesterday's dismissal... he remained not out in all previous outings at ipl this season...

kallis has impeccable technique is the fact known to many... the only question was whether his style of batting is suited to t20 cricket... perhaps coz of which he suffered the ignominy of not being selected for inaugural t20 world cup that too at home...

but in this season of ipl he has come with all guns blazing... he is not only making runs at brisk pace without compromising on technique... but also seeing bangalore royal challengers through...

but tell me, as the opening line of wisden article by alex bowden suggests, exactly how kallis doing good at ipl is a stinging slap on its face...?

ipl is not only providing platform to players like kallis to show the non-beleivers that one can still score quickly without compromising on technique front but it is also providing them a spring board to launch their t20 careers in their respective national teams...

isn't the slap is on CSA's face who did not believe in his abilities...?
