Well after a good win for the Sri Lanka today thought it was worth a mention about J K getting his first pair in his test cricket career.

Quite an achievement for it to come so late in his test playing career. I guess the big question is this the beginning of a slump in form that could end his career? Lets hope not...

When he retires South Africa will have a massive hole to fill...

thats a bit hasty! quality player.

[PM7]

An absolute legend and undoubtedly the most complete allround cricketer of the modern era.
Quality batsman in any format of the game, genuine wicket taker and a top slip fielder.
People like this rarely get replaced.

I'm not saying that they should drop him, I hope he stays for at least another 5 years but now days everybody wants players dropped when they are a little older and have a dip in form, just have to look at the stick Ponting has been getting over the last few months.

PM7 I could not agree more..

2nd only to sobers as an all rounder for me

He was and still is a fantastic player! You'd be hard pressed to find another like him.

Quality batsman/ bowler and fielder, complete package. Love to have 10% of his talant.

Being 36 years and 74 days old, I'd be surprised if he makes it more than 3 years. Cricinfo stats guru gives him an average 51.28 average for the calendar year, including the ducks. Not to shabby and it suggests there is life in the old dog yet.
