Makes Sunday a big day - the last Sydney appearance of Gilly and Hoggy.

One of the world's best ever ODI spin bowlers, but also one of the world's worst ever specialist test spinners.

Motive behind his retirement seems to be quite simple as the writeup says.

Hoooogggyyyyyyy retires
Good riddance I'd say if only for not seeing again his tongue wagging.

It was simply awful to watch.

What a shame . . . but glad that he got a chance in the test team at the end.

I sent Zimmy a text in commiseration but no response.


Good luck Hoggyyy!!!!! The first time I saw you I thought you were the WSETPFA but you turned into a fine JAMODI bowler who has much to be proud of.

Farewell to a fine cricketer, and (by all indications) a fine bloke. Very valuable all-round contributor over a long period of time. Unlucky not to get more chances at test level.

Having said that, it is a worry when Hogggyyyy's retirement creates a spinning crisis in Aust cricket.

I'm quite pleased. Maybe it'll stop the smug, arrogant hubris about spin-bowling from a few nasal squinties.

No, I think he got just about enough chances. Was never a good bowler with the red ball even at first class level.

Warne's retirement gave him a sniff of playing some more Test cricket ...which he got ...otherwise he would have retired after the last World Cup

I dont think there would have been anymore Tests for him ...(the selectors can be heartless bastards when they want to)..
