    See Adelaide and retire

    By Scott last year, at the end of January Leave a comment on this post

    I’m not sure what to make of this. But first it was Damien Martyn and now it is Nathan Astle who have responded to a great win by their teams in Adelaide by announcing it is time to retire.

    It’s better then seeing Naples, I guess. But I am still offended.

    It comes as a bit of a surprise for sure. The World Cup is SO close. I can’t imagine NZ without the name Nathan Astle in it. I guess I felt the same way about Chris Cairns.

    It will leave a great gap in the Newzealand team and it will take time to fill it. Newzealand will surely miss the player of this calibre specially when the world cup 2007 is so near.
