Wow, did not see this one about a week ago. Cheers Andy, pretty good opening bat, solid captain for England at a time when they needed a steady hand, just to get them over KP's maniacal reign.
Just read that he wrote letters to the players and support staff. Classy stuff to be sure. Always sad when guys like that exit the stage, Dravid, Laxman, Boucher & now Strauss, the old school retirement run is well and truly underway.
Hard to believe that in a few years, Tendy, Sehwag, Ponting, Hussey, Kallis, Sanga, Mahela, Vettori, Younis Khan & the like will all have taken their bows. I wonder, with the way Cricket is going, if we'll ever see their likes again, guys with truly classical & classy techniques with the battle hardened test temperament to match it. Amla & Trott seem to be made from the same stuff but I'm battling to come up with others.
