Kallis has hit a century in his final test innings. <awe>

Best cricketer of his generation in my opinion, massively underrated. Good to see him go out on a high.

Possibly even the greatest cricketer of all time, got to be up there with the likes of Bradman and Sobers.

Graeme Smith's retired, never took to the guy but got to say he was a quality batsman who always did well for South Africa, especially against England. Strange to imagine him not captaining South Africa.

So a really narrow victory in the last T20. Chris Jordan's 26 runs off our final over clinched it. Great knock from him <applause>

Anybody following the T20 World Cup?

Hell of a result and performance from the Netherlands today. And Nepal beating Bangladesh yesterday was great entertainment too.

Wasn't the best, but to be fair Netherlands had to win it in 14.1 overs to qualify so they just went for it and it came off. With two balls to spare.

Really hope that some of the emerging nations can keep improving. Need more teams involved at the highest level to keep it fresh.

Let's hope they bat like that against England, then we might win a game.

It was like 11 rabbits caught in headlights. I felt sorry for them. Captain said afterwards that the occasion got to them and they should not be as bad as that again.

They needn't worry they're playing England next week. Easy game for them.

Talk about Jeckyl and Hide, Netherlands are giving South Africa a real scare this morning. Could be an upset on the cards.

SA were kept to 145-9. Netherlands 90-3 after 10 overs.

Ashan Malik got 5-19, third best figures ever in a World T20, 9th best ever in an international T20. Great performance so far from those Dutchies.

Make it 97-3 Netherlands with yet another 6. Really good stuff!

116-5 with 7.5 overs to go.

They could do this... They need to be drug tested but they could beat SA <yikes>

The SA guy at work seems to be smiling a little bit more now.

C'mon Netherlands!
