Kallis has always been a gentleman and a very good cricketer. After he failed badly in teh three SriLanka OFI's he said that although he set his heart on playing in the WV next year - he realizes that that objective is not achievable - so he decided to retire from all forms of international cricket.
No doubt one of the greatest cricketers ever and respected thorughout the world. I think our best wishes go with him.
This opens up the way fro siome other really impreesive players coming through and the future looks vright for South African Cricket. Pity the same cannot be said for rugby and soccer.
It is a pity that some other players do not realize that they are detrimental to their team by staying on - especially some rugby players.
