The Proteas - Our Team!

Steyn was dropped for a bit after his initial debut, but (if memory serves) AB has never been "dropped" since he was selected.

Yep, he debuted in 2004-05 I think and was dropped. Came back in 07/08 against NZ and hasn't looked back.

AB played something like 77 consecutive tests?

I remember at the time being furious that Andre Nel was given a go ahead of him going forward. I was soon vindicated.

Jacques Kallis has announced that he will retire from Test cricket after the Boxing Day match against India.

Cricket South Africa tweeted the news on Wednesday afternoon. In a statement, Kallis said: "It wasn't an easy decision, with Australia around the corner and the success this team is enjoying, but I feel the time is right. I don't see it as goodbye, I still have a lot of hunger to push South Africa to that World Cup in 2015 if I am fit and performing."
