"What does one say when they retire? I don't really know how to sum up almost 15 years of red ball throwing, to be honest it's actually impossible to even try. What I can say is that I've loved every second of it, from the best to the worst days, it's been awesome! Maybe I'll try jot it down in a book one day, so I guess you'll have to wait till then." "Here's to a few more years of white ball though, apparently that 20/20 stuff is pretty fun," he added. Steyn, who announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, will continue to play ODI and T20 cricket.
