Unrealistic Player Retirements in ICC 2005

[Macky]

I'm playing as Durham manager and at the end of the 2006 season Paul Collingwood retired. How rubbish is that man

He hadn't any injuries during the season which could have forced an early retirement and he was playing well enough, averaging 47 with the bat and took about 20 wickets in first class cricket that season.

Has anybody else had any really early retirements?

Cheers.

Matt Hayden has just retired at 46 in my game. Jason Arnberger I think it was played on until 51 in one of my older games.

Giles retired on the eve of the 2007 WC, like after the Ashes.

This is good, it just shows to non-Australian's how much footy fans love to hate Collingwood, who officially is known as the Greatest Sporting Club in Australia.

Bottom 8 last 2 yrs, well, the previous 2 yrs we made the GF with an unrecognised side, despite the result(s), we still made it.

Watch for Travis Cloke and Chris Egan mate
