It's a shock, but it is refreshing to see a great player (and he is/was that, just short of the pantheon perhaps, but a quality, quality performer) go out so palpably on his own terms instead of having to have the bat metaphorically prised out of his hand by dewey eyed selectors without the balls to do it.
Always leave them wanting more, as someone once said. Barnum, probz?
Kudos Michael; top player and, moreover, a top chap too.
