Retirement of an all-time Great.

The world is about to lose one of the greatest spinners to ever play Cricket.
Yes, finally, after a record 699 wickets (soon to be 700, surely) to his name and a wildly successful career, Shane Warne has announced his retirement from cricket once the Ashes series is over.

I appologise for my delay in blogging about this, it just completely slipped my mind. Here are a few links for articles about his retirement.

What an amazing cricketer, what a scintillating career. It is not just Australia which will miss him. The entire cricketing world will miss his fiery flippers and vicious spin, which "revived a lost art", that of spin bowling, in a world where pace was predominant. His liveliness on the field and his unbeatable skill has left a deep imprint on cricket, and no doubt, the world hopes that he will soon continue gracing international cricket with his presence in the commentary box.

One of the greats indeed. Hats off to you Warnie. :)
