CW RetireWatch

[Pedro Delgado]

thought Lara said he fancies touring England next year?

Did we wave him off last time? Can't remember. Hope he tours again anyway.

 

[GIMH]

Me too.

 

[AussieDominance]

Astle

 

[adharcric]

Sachin Tendulkar
VVS Laxman.
Anil Kumble

I actually don't think any of them will retire soon.
Tendulkar ~ too much of a competitor and I think he'll hit form again
Laxman ~ he'll feel unsatisfied by his career, too few opportunites for his talent
Kumble ~ he'll stop when he wants to, because he might just be fit to play until 40; perhaps when Chawla is ready he'll step down

Damien Martyn.

Fourth post in the thread. Gun. Clapo picking Warne after the Ashes, too.

Tendulkar's a apent force IMO.....he should quit after the WC for his sake and India's.
So should Ganguly as well.

I still think Laxman has another 2-3 years left in him.......Not sure about Kumble tho....I don't know if Piyush Chawla if ready for tests yet...

Sanath J after the World Cup + possibly Chaminda Vaas .

I have no doubt Sanath will go into SL politics, while Vaas will probably join the Roman Catholic Clergy.

What about Marvan? And how long will Murali keep going for?

 

[chaminda_00]

What about Marvan? And how long will Murali keep going for?

Marvan probably after the next World Cup for ODIs, i think he might play Test Cricket for another year after.

I think Murali will retire from ODIs after the World Cup and play Test until he reaches 800 Test Wickets.

Anyone else think Hayden and Langer will retire at the same time, probably after the 2009 Ashes series.

 

[Robertinho]

Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath won't be around too much longer.

Solid, Camps, solid.

Though TBF, Cameron, these were only made 3 months ago...

 

[James90]

Hayden will retire shortly after the World Cup after not being selected for the Zimbabwe series.
Inzimam will retire directly after the World Cup.

 

[andmark]

Mark Rampakash.

 

[Jono]

Ganguly and Symonds calls terribly wrong.

Both returns were out of left field though.

I doubt Murali will stop at 800 . He will definitely tour Australia in 2008 and by then if he has exceeded 800 he may think about it.

But he may want 1000 test wickets next to his name. It may take him till 2011 to get that number .

Murali may decide to play only selectively after the World Cup (ie playing Tests only or ODIs against major opposition only ) , so that he can go back to County Cricket and earn some cash to augment his income.

He must seriously consider playing more County Cricket as he gets closer to his retirement.

What will he do in retirement ...possibly Politics in SL or getting back to family business making biscuits and sweets !

 

[pasag]

Murali sets sights on 900

 

[Craig]

Well in today's paper there was an article on Brian Lara and he said after the WC he wouldn't mind playing until he is 40 as he considers it the superior game. So I guess that means ODIs are definatly out now because he said he didn't think he will play much after the WC in terms of ODIs.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Geraint Jones will be the next to retire, he'll inadvertently drop himself after Flintoff mispronounces his name at team selections.

 

[Tomm NCCC]

The Next person to retire from Test Match Cricket will be Geraint Jones.... Just watch this space

 

[Craig]

Won't he have that decison made for him?
