Worst Send Off in Cricket?
With a lot of people retiring and, in their final game, not making a valuable addition to their stats (ie scoring runs/taking wickets), I pondered and wondered if there were any players that made a great contribution in their final game, any thoughts?
EDIT: would prefer Tests to ODI/T2o, but either is fine. If we were going to compare then tests would take preference.

Ridiculous celebration by Shane Watson vs Chris Gayle - YouTube

Bill Ponsford made 266 in his last Test (to better his 110 in his first Test) Or if you're looking at worst, Kim Hughes making a pair after resigning the captaincy at only 30 Last edited by aussie tragic; 04-01-2013 at 04:22 AM. |

Well surely Andrew Sandham's 325 in his last Test wins this one...

 I also rate an innings higher if they knew it was their last Test (like Chappell), otherwise we might rate Jason Gillespie's 201*
