Here's to hoping he gets his ton. That would be a fitting end to one of SA's/world greats. How do you replace a player with a 55 run test average ? With our young players available now I cant see one player stepping up to the crease to fill his void and that is just in the batting department. Huge RESPECT J Kallis and thanks for your many hours of entertainment over your career.

I think there are a few posters here that are chocking on what they wrote!

Jacque should have retired already?

SACA should go on their knees and BEG him to stay on and play the Aussies.

Stats do not lie , best all-rounder of all time . Premature retirement - we DO need him against the Aussies

Kallis one of the best ever, and the class was evident from the very beginning..................I am not sure that there is any emerging real class evident right now, but nobody knows better when to call time,than the man himself.
Thanks Jaques for the contribution ,now relax without guilt..........you earned it!
