32, so no not really. 2 years older than Maxwell who we still like to pretend hasn't hit his prime yet lolMorgan's getting on a bit isn't he?

That’s awesome! Do you have a link?He has mentioned that right now he feels like he could make it to 2023.
I read this article as well when it came out.That’s awesome! Do you have a link?
I'm backing all four of them to go around again.I think this WC might be a last hurrah for Kedar Jadhav too. He's already 34. We need to move on to new middle order options for the next WC
As for BD...Tamim is 30, Shakib and Mushy are 32, Mahmadullah 33. Could be the last WC for all of them, although making it to 2023 isn't out of the question.
He will definitely retire from ODI's. An absolute titan of West Indies cricket. I hope he gets a great send off and that he gets the 60 odd runs he needs to overtake Lara as our highest ODI run-scorer.Has anyone said Universe Boss?
He won't be available for the T20's but is up for test and ODI selection. Surely post World Cup is the perfect time for us to move on and give Ambris/Campbell maximum game time? Not a massive fan of that decision.Just read on Twitter that Gayle has apparently reversed his decision to retire and made himself available for the Test and ODi series against India in August.
Edit: Yep - from the man himself https://twitter.com/ESPNcricinfo/status/1143848421541011456
There is some truth to your point - not only is Amla's record at the WC lesser than his overall record in ODIs, he's never scored an ODI ton against a non-associate nation having played in three editions of the world cup. A lot of commentators often question why Amla isn't ranked up with the fab 4 despite all the records he has cracked but it is not that hard of a question to answer. That said, he deserved to play another IPL season.Hashim Amla is here to stay. Play a couple of years of JAMODIs, score another 10 ODI hundreds and retire on a glory scoring 3 hundreds in a trot against AFG.
Amla v Taylor is a better comparison. If Taylor plays a matchwinning knock in a World Cup semi or (better yet) final I'd put Ross ahead.There is some truth to your point - not only is Amla's record at the WC lesser than his overall record in ODIs, he's never scored an ODI ton against a non-associate nation having played in three editions of the world cup.

India's last match in this WC likely to be MSD's last ODI.Dhobi ??
Or is he going to hang around awhile to block some more
