Bollocks, he's been a guaranteed cheap wicket for us these last 2 ashes series :x

They've brought in Adam Voges as replacement, bet he starts scoring big runs

[Northern Red]

Bit weird to retire 2 games into a 5 game series?

Maybe he was persuaded to stay on and now that the Ashes are as good as Australia's he's off.

I think he has jumped before being pushed out, not that I know that much about cricket

[Scot Munroe]

It was a bit of a shock this morning when i found out. Good player and also a cheap wicket for the opponents. He is 35 years old.

Just before his home test, and the aussies winning the ashes back as well....you would have thought he could stomach getting out cheaply again if they were about to win that little urn at his home ground!

[lebowski]

i'm sure he would have been dropped anyway, only surprise is that they didn't bring phil jacques in?

i see alec stewart has still got it: 69 off 69 balls against the chairman's 11!! ditch jones and get him in!!

[Boeta]

he was obviously just not enjoying it anymore

what a class player to watch. the most graceful of the modern era

For the alleged expert you don't half come out with some exaggerated guff

Not to mention the "obvious" which he publicly admitted prior to your post
