Good decision....ABD has accepted his limitations.

SA seem to have a culture of self-lessness in place.

Before ABD was selfless, he coveted the job when Hashim Amla had it. I guess he figured out it's not as easy as it looks... smile smile

Speaking of, how long before Captain Cook steps down?

It is interesting that AB said he would rather retire than serve under Amla, which is why Amla stepped down, in order to persuade AB to stay.

Now, AB is quite happy to serve under du Plessis. Curious...I guess that, like the Biblical Ethiopian, some white Saffers just can't change the colour of their skin.
cool

Reminds me of when he 'volunteered' to keep wicket just when Thami Tsolekile was poised to take over those duties.

Talk about timing!
