The Don had one right?
Yeah they stood along either side of the pitch before he took block and gave him three cheers. Woodfull did the same thing for Hobbs when he retired.I don't think so, but they all took of their hats and gave him three cheers.
I thought the ODI appearance came during the WC which was before his final Test.Received two in fact. One from South Africa in his last Test, and then received one from Zimbabwe in his final ODI and international appearance in cricket.
You are correct. I was misremembering. His last appearance was indeed that South African Test.I thought the ODI appearance came during the WC which was before his final Test.

Gooch and Gatting both did so during their last Test in 1995, IIRC. Gatt might not qualify as a 'great' but both got a GOH (and both dismissed cheaply).Has there been many greats who played their last Test match against Australia over the past 20 years AND announced retirement before the Test? I can't think of any at all.

Don't think he got one while coming onto bat. Got one coming out to field from his own teammates and batsman iirc.at least I think he did. looking at his cricinfo photo album he got this from aus
