Two very good players gone yes and how's the bloke that Johnson struck in the first test. There were rumours that he might not play again either after being on the receiving end of a Johnson thunderbolt.

And fittingly Johnson got him again in his last at bat in Test cricket for SA. Good to see the respect shown for a great of the Game.

Yes, definitely hard to replace two quality players such as Kallis and Smith. Their batting definitely looks a little shaky now. Maybe not a slide like the aussies had when we lost our crew of heroes, but definitely their will be a small slide.
