POPSAstle's final shot.. 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.

POPSThanks guys! Oh Boy! I am sad today. I cannot be happy, with both these wonderful folks not to be seen on the cricket ground (McGrath for Tests). I have seen full days of test match cricket with them bowling over after over. Cannot describe the void inside me. I have been in US for 3-4 years now and haven't got much chance to watch cricket. This makes me even more sad because I know I have missed some of the greatest performances these guys delivered. I am waiting for their Auto biographies. Those will be my greatest belongings. I already have "Out of my comfort zone" - by Steve Waugh. I want to thank you guys. You both are my heros.

POPSShane past 1000 It all began here, years ago, against India (I think). Sydney, being the best for spinners, had high hopes of a warne magic that day. But he ended up getting only 1 wicket in the entire test match. Who would have thought that Warne will become a legend at they very same ground. If warne remains wicket less in the second innings, it will be some sort of history or a record of some sort. For warne, I don't think it matters.

POPSAustralia is loosing too many stars Can't beleive that australia is loosing so many stars at the same time. I think Australians are setting standards in the game that are hard to achieve. Both on and off the field. The whole retirement season is an example of an off field standard. These players and coaches are happy to leave the game when they are in prime form. They don't want to be pushed aside by bunch of selectors of people themselves. Its their self respect which they want to save at the end and not just being the record holders (some of them are unthinkable to break). I seriously doubt if players of any other team (exception is Brian Lara) can follow the same.

POPSLanger Retires Nice Guy. Always fought for the glory in a star studded Aussie lineup. Didn't have a great technique but had true determination to score runs. A good opener.
