[KS55]

It's probably the correct decision. He's 42 in July, and pace bowling is punishing on the body, and he's had his share of injuries down the years. Those injuries take longer to recover from as you get older. Also, he's unlikely to be more of a threat as the years are ticking by. He's been a fantastic servant to England down the years. 3rd in the list of all time test wicket takers, only behind Muralitharan and Warne. Both of them phenomenal spinners. Jimmy is nearly 100 wickets ahead of the second placed quickie (Broad, who's also retired now). I'm sure he'll get plenty of media work; he seems at ease behind the mic.

Correction: one phenomenal spinner, one chucker.

From what I can recall, wasn’t he having issues with his father trying to coach him too, so had to move to stop that issue?

Think he was involved but Walter gave him his marching orders, happy he’s doing well
He got called up for England to soon if I remember correctly

Never had Warne down as a chucker?

37/4. Another innings defeat looming.

Ex-Lancashire player batting to a double century against his old team. Fear for Lancs this season.

Shocking so far this season. Bowling is average and batting is just awful. Lancashire will be relegated this season… miles off the pace.

Lancashire are bloody awful, 100 for 6 is just pathetic.

That’s a recovery, they were 61 for 6

That’s a recovery, they were 61 for 6

I’m hoping last nights storm renders the pitch unplayable. Eight points, Yay!

Would 2nd Division Cricket have any effect on finances ?

I can’t imagine it would have much given how low the attendances are for county cricket
