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 :( Title: Martyn Retires Post by: Northern Red on Friday, December 8, 2006, 13:31:38 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. Title: Martyn Retires Post by: janaage on Friday, December 8, 2006, 13:40:19 I think he has jumped before being pushed out, not that I know that much about cricket
Title: Martyn Retires Post by: Scot Munroe on Friday, December 8, 2006, 16:13:54 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.
