How do you feel about Harmisons decision to retire.

[Dravid]

Right so I really wanted to create this thread because I have a feeling not a lot of people were upset about it, but still wanted to make sure

Answer the poll please!

The world is losing a magnificent artist in me.

 

[silentstriker]

And coming so soon after Warne/McGrath....I would say no one really cares.

tbh I think it's for the better of the English team. Saves about 20 wides every innings.

 

[Legga]

Have they got someone who was born in a different country to come in and replace him?
If they have only got an Englishmen they are in trouble.

Mahmood's close, but he stinks too.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Makes sense; but he should have done it either much earlier or after the WC... still, it's not as if we had any decent preparations anyway.

Oh well,he will do until they find another poor victimised Seth African to turn traitor.

That's why I said 'close'. Though Monty's from Bedford and I heard that is a foreign country.

Close to where? Preston?

Bedford has large immigrant populations, true; first the Italians (largest Italian population per capita in the country, weirdly, they all came to work in the brick factories), then the Asians & now the East Europeans.

 

[silentstriker]

No, I mean he's close to not being English (ie his parents were Pakistani).

 

[Stumped]

Oh my god!....Reading this thread is the first time i have heard it...thats a shame.

 

[AussieDominance]

Makes Sense i think at least he is concentrating on something he is good at

Whining?

 

[Matteh]

I'm glad he's done it, if he regains anything like the form of two years ago.

 

[tendulkar]

hardly a big loss for England, he probably realised himself that hes useless in ODIs

 

[Perm]

Don't care really, but it's good that he has realised he isn't a very good ODI bowler and is trying to help the team while focusing on his own test performances.

 

[Stumped]

well at least he is still playing test..although some might disagree

The only reason im proabably sad that he retired his coz i love watching the aussies belt him round the park
