his time was up... i think he either went now on his own terms or he was getting close to being pushed anyway.  Hasn't made runs in a while and has started dropping catches to go with it now... Great career, and getting out at the right time!

true, but it is a perfect example of why he's leaving now...

A great career, I am very glad to see him perform at the level he has regardless of all the knockers.

2 of 3 balls in his last innings :( what an anticlimax.
great player, redefined One Day batting. Was anyone here at the G last friday to see his sizzling 83 off 50
