Finally we have a conference. I love how everything has exploded in the press, world press even, and we only now get a conference scheduled. Talk about sticking necks out. Although, there must be a substantial germ of truth to this, otherwise the mistake made would be quite comical and embarrassing.
you can watch it live from 11:40am, on www.ninemsn.com.au

Talk about all over the shop. Wasn't he supposedly on a plane to Sydney to do it with Pidge? What's Pidge doing today? No news on that front.

One thing is for sure, the ratings for the last 2 tests will be through the roof.
I heard somewhere this is the 100th test ever played at the G.
He is my predicition.
England to bat first, Warne gets Bell as his 700th wicket.
We end up chasing about 240 - 250 for Victory batting last.
Warne and Ponting (104*) at the wicket with 20 runs to get and only a handful of wickets left.
Warne slashes the winning runs over backward point for 4.
You heard it here first.

I'm quietly hopeful that this is indeed the case.
The decision to retire now just doesn't make sense. If he wants more time with his family, he can retire from county cricket and spend the next nine months working out if he wants to play another Australian summer.
I don't know if its been posted, but it will be 12:30 EST LIVE on the Sky News Channel.

On Nine Live now
On Nine Live now
Could someone please summarise what he says!
Hasn't said a lot yet, nothing in fact.
Thanks for coming, interestinf few days since third test, amazing thought process. His "Mission" to get Ashes. Retires from Itn'l cricket, Vics and St Kilda
Good to see "The Official Site of Cricket Australia" has zero news or coverage about the biggest cricket story of the year :rolleyes:
He's on now..
Getting the Ashes back meant everything...
Announces his retirement from Australia & Victoria
Amazing journey
Says he knows his time is now to retire
He has been a part of winning every trophy possible.
Would have retired at the end of 2005 Ashes if Australia had of won.
Wanted to go out on his terms and when he was on top.
Day of celebration.
Questions from media:-
When did you decide it was time? - Re-emphasised that he would have retired if they had of won Ashes in 2005. Knows its time.
Do you recall exact moment when he knew it was time to go? - No exact time. Just knows its time. Still bowling well. Public been fantastic. Told his kids he was retiring yesterday. Kids upset because they didn't think he'd play backyard cricket with them anymore.
Goes on to say he has given as much as he could for the game..
Can you win 5-0? Jobs not done yet. Thinks we can.
What do you say to the Poms? Will continue to play good cricket.
Highs and Lows of his career? - Lucky to play in unbeievable series. Fave test match - Colombo, Sri Lanka, 1992 up until last week in Adelaide. Highs just playing cricket in this era for Australia. Very lucky. Plays cricket because he enjoys it. His passion. Will miss playing cricket for Aus and Victoria and St.Kilda.
What do you say to fans who say too early to retire? First class cricket in Australia is strong. Players will come through. Always tried to put on a show.maybe he went over the top on occasions but thats just him. Hopes he made cricket more enjoyable and fun.
His contract? Will honour contract for 2 seasons...
What does future hold for Warne? Half his life devoted to cricket. Doesn't know what future holds. Has ideas but who knows. Spending more time with kids. Lot of things he'd like to do. Focus is next two test matches. Few beers, couple of smokes and see what happens.
Life as a Soap Opera? Says today was a pretty good secret...ha ha. Always attention on his off field. Hopefully won't be same scrutiny now.
When did you know you could play the highest level? Until you actually get there you don't know. Talks about the Colombo match again. Took 3-0 to win the game. Finally contributed. Didn't feel like he belonged at that stage. Got dropped again. Boxing Day against West Indies....time for Warne to deliver. Took 7/52 on boxing day and helped win the test match. Knew he belonged then.
Media Plans? Not sure at the moment...
On Richie? Richies the man....loved his sense of humour. Been there when hes needed him. Ian Chappel huge influence. AB taught him about the baggy green. Passion. Terry Jenner like Dr.Phil..

Could someone please summarise what he says!
talking about the Ashes Urn and how it was important to him to get it back
and has retired from all types of cricket Aus, Vic and local cricket
thought he might be sad but is happy - feels its a celebration
believe the timing is right - once the urn's was won back, him being on top of his game and to end on his terms
if we won in 2005 he would of retired

Team number 1, going to retire after the Ashes anyway, Opportunity to play in front of Friends family. Happy man. Would have retired after 2005 had they won.

No better than the Members at his home ground to make his retirement statement
Unfinished business with the urn
We don't want the english to win anything...England deserved to win that series
Talked with Punter in Perth
Would have retired after 2005 had they won.
Now that is a big call. Hard to believe
Fave test in SL in 1992 and Adealide test this year. Wants to win 5-0

We sell out most OD games anyway, won't get more than the old geezer and his Jack Russell (NOT the keeper) at CC games though.

Big $$$, and he clearly has a thing for buxom English blondes. I'd be playing for Hamps as well.

He has this desire to win the County Championship, probably one of the few things he has yet to win, he can focus more on that this season to MAKE it happen/

You're missing the point- he has reached the mountaintop- there are no other international peaks to climb...county brings in a good income, and he had agreed to play two more years with Hampshire. Family could go to England with him with few problems, I'd think.

Sucks that he will be playing his last competitive cricket in England, with an English side.

Actually he is not on that big a salary at Hants, Not the biggest at the club anyway, prefers Rod to save dough for the Stadium, i'd say he's on half of what Mushie is at Sussex.

Speaking to a Hampshire director 2 weeks ago they were unsure what was going to happen in regards to him honouring his contract.
I must say Warne handled himself very well.

After spending mroe time with the kids and After he has honoured his contract with Hampshire- do some coaching Warnie. What a legend. Revolutionized world cricket...

That was an awesome speech. Warnie is a great great man and handled himself brilliant.
As did Mr Benaud, he had a sexy tie on too.

Surprised Eddie didn't do the gig himself given its importance and the national exposure
no worries

I know but given most are struggling to believe he has retired now, imagine if he did it 18 months ago. I always thought he'd go out at home which is what will happen
