I don't like Cricket

My international career - some confusion

Recent events have confused me.

When Shane Warne continued to take wickets and score fifties right up until his retirement I remained convinced that at the age of 28 I still had a future in international cricket. "After all," I pondered to myself while working away at my desk, "I can bowl a googly and a leg break... and I've got an awesome flipper - the one that goes straight on". If I could play as long as Shane and then drag out the dregs of my career for a couple of extra seasons while I decline I would get 12 years at Test level - not bad for anyone.

But then Steve Harmison retired from all ODIs at the age of 28. Oh my god. I'm buggered. That's it. It's all over. I've got nothing left.

However, with news of Paul Nixon's first England cap today at the age of 37, I realised that I'm back in the game.

Therefore, I have today decided to rescind my recent retirement from international cricket and make myself available to Duncan Fletcher and the selectors for selection in the World Cup and this summer's Test series.

You, too, can join the campaign for a decent Test team HERE.

In other news, Australia have scored 221/5 - the highest ever score in international 20/20 cricket. Same old, same old.
