[QUOTE="nam97, post: 171396"] Great player, but it's about bloody time to be honest. He's a tick over 36 and his slump in form over the past year suggests this is the best time to bow out. Started his career as a 28 year old (I think) against Pakistan, so what he's done for a relatively late international career (age wise) is phenomenal. Was voted Australia's all time greatest ODI player and rightly so. Now, who to replace him? Brad Hadden will most probably be Australia's mainstay behind the stumps, but this is the problem. All of these back ups are well reaching their 30's and there doesn't seem to be any real youngsters coming into the team (although I bet there are many who could succeed). [/QUOTE]
