Warne down four to go

Well the retirements have started with Shane announcing he will hang up his Test boots after Sydney and Glenn McGrath expected to follow. For world cricket its a shame to see them go. But knowing we will not face them when we try and win back the Ashes is a boost. Reading the remarks at the press conference even Warne appears to accept some of his appealing has been over the top- it surely was at Perth, while England's reticence in at least one appeal cost them.

The England one-day squad has been announced and sad to see Harmison announce his retirement from ODI's - it leaves the pace attack looking a little short on experience and penetration, at anything like his best he would be an asset- although at least this should mean Jon Lewis secures his World Cup spot.............................
