Andy Caddick

With the reports today that he might be out for the season, do we think he should retire?

Caddick Down But Not Out

I don't think Caddick is likely to feature too much in England's future plans with the crop of bowling talent we currently have now.

I think he should retire before he knackers himself completely and then perhaps have a season if he's up to it of county cricket to see Somerset promoted.

I really hope the tests aren't horrendous news but if so then Somerset and England will lose a great pro.

Great pro at times.

Not at others...

Yeah I can't see him getting back in for England now. I mean he'll be 35 next year and if we have Gough, Anderson, Johnson, Hoggard, Jones, Harmison (shudder), he's a little surplus to requirements.

I guess I'd say retire form international cricket and see how the R+R goes. If well, he could consider playing on for Somerset, one last hurrah and all that.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't quit just because if you aren't going to play for your country again it must be difficult to motivate yourself for anything less....

Well I saw just now on Ceefax that Caddick has claimed his England career is not over yet. He says he is still the best bowler in England and he aims to prove that in an England sweater.

Always was an arrogant so and so but fair play to him for not chucking the towel in. Goughie has made it - can Caddick? Guess it'll be some time before we find out...

Hmm it will be sad to see him go, but im not that concerned, especially with Anderson and Gough doing nicely for england...

A last season for Somerset would be nice though

I'd like to wish Andy Caddick all the best in his retirement from international cricket (take the hint, Andy) but I certainly think he's got 2 or 3 years of CC left inside him.
