The past few weeks the news hogging the headlines has been the retirement of Warne,Mcgrath,Langer,and to a lesser extent that of Damien Martyn.The key thing is most of these players are retiring when they are performing.So they are going out when the question being asked is Why and Why not?.This long list of retirees does leave a huge vaccum in Australian cricket.More so in bowling rather than batting.But it does send a huge message to the whole community of team sportsmen and women.It is also easy to make the decision when the team is doing well.I am also reminded of Sanath Jayasuriya who was dropped then brought back into the team and since then has performed well-looks like he will play on till the world cup.In India we havent heard of anybody retiring from the cricket team-the last i can think of is Sunil Gavaskar who retired after he scored a marvelous 97 in a minefield of a wicket against Pakistan.
Retirement list from the top teams other than Australia-anybody keen to put it out??
