Yeah Ponting, Dravid, Sachin and Kallis retiring is the final nail. I officially feel old.

Funny, I have just started following cricket when all these big ones retired. Wonder who is gonna make me feel old one day
And thank you, Kallis & SA.

When Dhoni was talking about kallis having the chance to pend more time with his family, it was almost as if he was thinking "I'm too old got this ****"
I predict he's going to retire within a year tbh

Shouldn't bother scheduling any more; can't play Kallisball without Kallis.

Will miss him big time. South Africa will miss him big time. World cricket will miss him big time.
Definitely moving on to the new era now with all these greats retiring. Quietly but efficiently there are a number stars on the cusp of legend status which will be exciting to watch now.

iirc you expected and predicted it.Not a bad show by India..But for that Kohli fiasco it might have ended in a draw.But then Rahane wouldn't have got his chance to show what a gun he is.This was one of those occasions when all the SA bowlers fired together.Even in Australia last year they were not as good.Dlearly the no.1 team and showing why
btw a draw wouldn't have made much difference since the rubber is with SA already and the Test Ranking of both the teams will remain unaffected. thanks to Australia

I reckon they may slot Tsolikele in at 7

Tweeted Biff about this. He has recently said our test team needs to be playing more cricket.
Think we may have 5 ? Two vs Zimbabwe and three v West Indies ?
Would be a shocking decision.

I could, but I was the closest I've been to tears in a long time. And I've just watched a stack of heart-wrenchingly sad movies.
Don't understand much of that. Why put in a specialist pacer when in all honesty Kallis hasn't been close to a front-line member of the attack for a fair while now? Also, wtf is Du Plessis doing at 3.
Mine would be
Smith
Peterson/de Kock (Probably peterson though I think he'll get targeted and destroyed)
Amla
de Villiers
Faf
Duminy
van Zyl
Philander
Peterson
Steyn
Morkel
Marchant in for Morkel if he has issues with his foot.
Nobody but Pakistan free, ftr. Not much we can do other than tour UAE again.
Yup.

Smith
Petersen (Elgar pressurising)
Amla
Faf
AB
JP (van Zyl/Rossouw pressurising)
Robbie P (Harmer pressurising)
Philander
Abbott
Steyn
Morkel
Other options are if you go bat at 7/8 route and play McLaren/Parnell and then there is the thought of de Kock scoring some runs in the last few rounds of the Sunfoil series.

Keep the team that played this game. move the order up and slot in Q de Kock at 7...
Do we really need another bowler that can bat a little? Can not replace kallis with an all rounder. we need a batsman.
