I'd have liked him to have retired on his own terms but never mind

I think he should have retired last year, he still bowls a good line and doesn't go for a lot of runs but he didn't consistently take wickets.

We need to think of the future and start bedding in other players
 
Big call by Baz, you could argue that new blood needs to be introduced and with it being a "easier" summer you are not going to learn anything more about Jimmy but it might help new bowlers get some wickets and confidence. Real shame is with this summer's fixtures he would have easily gone past warnes record.
 
“Hi everyone. Just a note to say that the first Test of the summer at Lord’s will be my last Test.

"It’s been an incredible 20 years representing my country, playing the game I’ve loved since I was a kid. I’m going to miss walking out for England so much. But I know the time is right to step aside and let others realise their dreams just like I got to, because there is no greater feeling.

"I couldn’t have done it without the love and support of Daniella, Lola, Ruby and my parents. A huge thank you to them. Also, thank you to the players and coaches who have made this the best job in the world.

"I’m excited for the new challenges that lie ahead, as well as filling my days with even more golf.

"Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, it’s always meant a lot, even if my face often doesn’t show it.

"See you at the Test,

"Go well,

"Jimmy x"
 
Gutted, unless he gets a 10 for he will stay 3rd in the all time list, though I think he will forever be number 1 for seamers
