Unfortunately I'm not sure how much he would have enjoyed his day at the cricket yesterday. Poor guy can't even go overseas to watch the ashes without that turning to shit as well :cry:

Is he still away?

Obviously I hope I'm wrong but I'm still quite prepared for the possibility he's going to retire.

At the least, I suspect he will give up the captaincy; he's done it now for six years and if he as mentally cooked as people seem to think he is, then some lessening of responsibility might be what he needs to get refreshed at least somewhat.

He said he was going to be at the club next year at a door stop, I think it was on Footy Classified.
