Kasper retires

By Will 8 months ago Leave a comment on this post

Shame to see the retirement of Michael Kasprowicz, and isn’t it amazing how many have hung up their gloves and boots in the past few months? After the trio of Justin Langer, Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath, we’ve had Adam Gilchrist, Scott Styris and Shane Bond - those last two will still play on in one form or another, though.

I always liked Kasper. He was an honest toiler and a good, if slightly unreliable bowler - and that’s probably why I liked him. He was fallible; a loose cog in Australia’s pristine machine in the 1990s.
