Just a quick thank you to everyone for the kind messages over the last two days. Simply blown away by all the people who have messaged\/congratulated me. Thank you,&quot; said Steyn on Instagram.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;What does one say when they retire? I don&#39;t really know how to sum up almost 15 years of red ball throwing, to be honest it&#39;s actually impossible to even try. What I can say is that I&#39;ve loved every second of it, from the best to the worst days, it&#39;s been awesome! Maybe I&#39;ll try jot it down in a book one day, so I guess you&#39;ll have to wait till then.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Here&#39;s to a few more years of white ball though, apparently that 20\/20 stuff is pretty fun,&quot; he added.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSteyn, who announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, will continue to play ODI and T20 cricket.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
