Now all we need is for Glenda and Punter to go and we might stand a chance :roll:

Warne is the only Aussie Cricketer that i have any respect for,his record speaks for itself.

One of the best spinners of all time, would be a shame for cricket if he does go, but about bloody time from a english view! Dancing

I met Shane Warne once and it goes down as one of the best days of my life!

He really doesn't need to retire. Obviously we'll make 700 wickets and retire happy.

Alot of their players are close to the retirement age so one would hope the new breed aren't as good.

Curse you Australian Institute of Sport!

wife beating that's complete bollocks

one of the guys i coach for in the summer holidays did some work done at the rose bowl a winter or two ago. they saw warney at the ground and asked if he'd mind doing a q&a session with the kids. he sat down with 60 kids for over two hours answering every question they had and only finished when the kids had had enough

i know loads of people who have similar stories to tell about warne

shane warne is all class

I'd be surprised by Warnie, he's at the top of his game right now, but then i can understand his wanting to bow out at the top. It's probably the right moment for McGrath and his natural successor is already in the team (Clark)

warne will carry on until he's physically unable to bowl, i reckon he wants that 1,000 mark or as close to it as possible.

i love him, he's ace :0

Who will replace Warne as the spinner. Macgill maybe who is about 1 or 2 years younger than Warne.

Lets hope so, even though he's a good spinner Macgill has always been fairly expensive.

macgill is they are going for the safe short term option, but he isn't exactly in cricket aus' best books at the minute

the other candidates are

dan cullen, 22 years ish, south australian offie who's played a few odis and a test
cullen bailey, 21 years, south aus leggie
aaron heal, 23 yrs, left arm orthodox from western aus
