Makhaya Ntini, the South Africa fast bowler, has announced his retirement from international cricket but will continue representing domestic sides. Ntini will be given a farewell during the Twenty20 international between South Africa and India at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on January 9, when he will make his final appearance for South Africa.
An emotional Ntini, fighting back tears, announced his decision .....
It is really hard to think of a more influential cricketer to play the game in recent times. What he has done for South African cricket is almost beyond words. All this and without much fuss at all. He spends much of his spare time traveling to townships just playing with kids who live in poverty, kids who who love and addore him. You never hear about what he does over here or are able to really know what he has done unless you have actually been their and seen it yourself.
A true hero in every aspect.
Oh yea and he was a bloody good bowler as well.
