Finest New Zealand player after Chris Cairns and Richard Hadlee. Loved his batting and specially his fastest double century. Will miss him very much. His retirement adds to the void already created by annoucements from Shane Warne and Glen McGrath.

Nathan Astle has retired from international cricket, citing a lack of motivation just six weeks before what would have been his fourth World Cup. Astle told a press conference at Perth his international career was over but he was undecided on whether to continue at first-class level.
