That's funny. Just because he's retiring doesn't make him great. He was an player who doesn't have the respect of most people world wide. Too bad. He's an unlikeable guy. And when he retires, what do you expect? People are glad another rotten egg is off the field. To say he’s great is a joke. That’s funny. Just because he’s retiring doesn’t make him great.

All we're saying is that his achievements are qualified by certain factors - opposition bowlers, pitches, his team mates - which in our eyes mean he isn't one of the greats. He was an accomplished batsman who expertly exploited a certain cricketing environment to the full. Whit, we’ve never mentioned Zimbabwe.

He is arrogant yes but as someone else said you still have to hit the ball bowled to you to score the runs. KC

No amount of laudable charity work can make up for someone causing 'farewell' to be used as a verb.
