KALLIS retires

Kallis been a stalwart for many years but his time has come!!!
Indeed one of the greatest all-rounders....but he is well past his sell by date!!!

Kalahari as he is known to mates is one of the greatest players of all time.....

Thanks jacques for the memories up there with peter kirsten imvho

Its a pity he had to retire in this test match, the only thing people will remember about this test is how SA sold the 1st test.....

Sad to see him retire, I still think he has a lot to give still, true gentleman ,thank you for the great moments .

One of the greats of cricket but should have retired a year ago

Why is it that some of you SAs always have to focus on the negatives? Every player has dips in form, sometimes it comes at the end of a career. In some cases injuries play a part. That does not mean someone should retire the first time they have a bad game!

Tests... 2nd in the list of catches taken, top 30 wicket takers, 4th most runs scored. This is not a time to say he should have gone earlier etc, it is a time to acknowledge and applaud a truly great player of the game, the likes of whom sadly grace the field much too rarely and even more sadly, are watched/slagged off by a load of tv armchair critics/whiners who can't even be @rsed to get off their lazy butts and go watch your brilliance "live". I tip my hat to you Jacques, a wonderful player who I will greatly miss watching. All the best to you in whatever your future holds, you will be much missed from the test arena, your kind don't come about so often. I applaud, and have a drink to, an outstanding career :)o

(Happy Birthday Mav -D )

Absolutely Englander.(tu)

I am assuming that it is indeed Mav's birthday (accordinging to the whinging Englander post...Always looks on the bright side...and all...)....
so Happy Happy Mavourneen...-D

Ta Pirh! My stepbrother is taking us all out to an eating place on the Midlands Meander for lunch ... don't know it but I believe it's popular. Slightly sorry to miss the start of the next Test but hey! as they say, it's a good problem to have, too many good things to choose from.
