MAL does it again.

The kiss of death MAL predicted that at 35 he was finished
Too many failures of late.
He gets out with a creditable reputation now, insread of embarrasing himself.
Now for an announcement in SA this week.

Certainly hasn't looked a shadow of the man that hold's the record for the fastest double ton in Test cricket history.
Hamish Marshall and himself look all at sea against genuine pace bowling.

Oh no,he was thinking it. nyuck nyuck nyuck....

Astle's case is one of some intrigue.Did he play on,purley on the basis he felt the side needed him,or he needed the team? All adds up to a selfish act IMHO.

Footnote-Based on the fact he said he lost the passion 8 months ago..
