Will Mcgrath and Warne ever retire?

I also protest against AAs ears, Ijaz Ahmeds butt and Vettoris impersonation of a geek.
Now, now, Vettori gives hope to all those bookish-looking kids who missed out on playing Harry Potter in the movies.

Both will play until they're no longer good enough. That's the Australian way.
i actually think the opposite, i think they will both retire at their own will

Dont you just hate it when you make a comment in all seriousness, and someone twists it to give it some other meaning ?

My guesstimate is McGrath's retirement not very far away !

Quite possibly Ashes next year !

Warne's retirement extremely unlikely for another 3-4 years until Cameron White or some one else reaches the potential to take over the spinning duties for Australia ahead of Warne !!

Warne was sked this question in the January isue of Wisden Asia Cricket.

q} How close have you come to retirement?
a} I have thought about it. That's why I retired from ODI cricket. I wanted to keep my test career going. It was a big deciion for me because it is such good un. If I want to play until I am 37 or 38, I had to do it.

at least two years each, unless they get a fairly bad injury.
McGrath had a fairly bad injury last year - Warne has had at least 2 - and they're both still playing.

Because he knows how to play good cricket ,God dammit! He's still the best pacer in the world, and he's certainly thinner than ur fat brainless captain Inzamam-ul-haq.
