True but obviously he has one really huge reason he may want to retire which is much bigger than cricket.

Ballance to top score this test for England, quality bat

Maybe he made the decision before the series started. Definately seems to be batting more freely and relaxed.
Not great news heading to Saffer land though if true. Steyn and co would be licking their lips at Bailey and a fresh keeper

Been a few low scores at the SCG this season but reckon the pitch isnt as bad as it looks, still think we will make 350+

No salary cap in test cricket, I'm sure he could be convinced.

I was one. I haven't been quiet this series. I've apologised.
However, his form in that series was still rubbish - keeping was stodgy (and let's not forget his bye-riddled start).
This series is the best I've ever seen him keep.
