this is just not fair. and how can someone who puts in so much effort chuck it all up like this? the least he could do was hang on for a year or two more. it's not like 35-36 is too old to start a family, is it? christ. I'm seriously depressed about this, and not in a funny way.

Holy ****, did not see this coming. Originally, I was not a fan but he has fought tooth and nail at international level and I love him now. Will miss him

New Zealand cricketer in retiring before they should have shocker.

Hmm. Retirements tend to come at a similar rate TBH. You can't retire without something to retire from.
Possibly you mean too many early retirements these days?

Shame, he worked well at Leics. Workmanlike overseas seam bowlers are their speciality (always wished Kasprowicz had played longer there).

Iain O'Brien retires from International Cricket
Not even joking.
Big decision to make, think it's extremely noble and admirable of him. Really hope he goes out on a high.
