Veteran South African opener Gary Kirsten has announced his retirement at the end of the NZ series....
In my eyes he was the utmost professional throughout his long career.. A really hard worker who never made a song and dance about anything, but got on with scoring runs for South Africa with great reliability... He always gave 110% at the crease... In a game full of dashing batsmen it was refreshing to see someone as gritty as Gazza... Someone in the Atherton mould who would make bowlers earn his wicket....
His finest moment IMO, was that double century at Old Trafford in 1998.. Although he later admitted that it was probably the ugliest 200 ever
Anyway best of luck Gazza, and happy retirement!
