Jacques Kallis Retires From International Cricket - dillinger10 - 07-30-2014
Cape Town - Jacques Kallis on Wednesday announced his retirement from all formats of international cricket.
“I realised in Sri Lanka that my dream of playing in a World Cup was a bridge too far,†the 38-year-old said via a statement released by Cricket South Africa (CSA).
“I just knew on that tour that I was done. The squad that was in Sri Lanka is an amazing one and I believe they have a good chance of bringing the trophy home in March.

Losing his mother at a young age made Kallis' early years :
"not exactly perfect or like other children's, especially mine".
Kallis formed close bonds with his father and sister.
The former passed away ten years ago :
so it was up to Kallis to give the latter away at her wedding last week. 8)
