Good podcast as always.

One guy that could've made the XI as well is Bob Cowper, who once scored a triple century at Test level and retired before he turned 30 to become a stockbroker/merchant banker.

There were a fair few Oz players who retired earlier than they needed to because of the lack of money. Would've only gotten worse if WSC hadn't arrived.

wait didn't sanath play a full and long test career?

Good listen as always. Find it pretty relaxing to listen to this on the way to work.

Surely a danger to be inducing driver fatigue like that..

 

[OverratedSanity]

"Deaths" technically aren't retirements, but Jock Cameron was a strange one because he was one of the stars of SA's tour of England in 1935, contracted typhoid on the way back to South Africa and died a few days after landing home.

Driving to work isn't feasible for most people in Mumbai. I take the local trains to work, which, to put it mildly are just a tad crowded... Just completely drains you physically.

Podcasts provide much needed mental peace.

I'd consider that a career ending injury

 

[OverratedSanity]

Technically it's the reason he retired.

More valid than the watson one imo.

 

[Bijed]

Good listening as usual, I enjoyed the dynamic with the three of you doing it (I know there were several people on the earlier podcasts too).

Also liking how the 'similar threads' thing is just listing 5 separate threads all called 'Shane Watson'.

Yea I haven't pimped it out on reddit since.

We only get like 1% of our listens from there anyways. :/

Yeah, I heard how it sounded and want it to improve. I'll try to get a better setup for next time.
