Out with the old

The World Cup is over and so, it would appear are quite a few careers. Since the beginning of the competition:

  • Ricky Ponting has resigned as Australian captain
  • Shaun Tate has retired from ODI cricket
  • Daniel Vettori has retired from ODI and Twenty20 International cricket
  • Shoaib Akhtar has retired from Internation cricket
  • Graeme Smith has resigned as captain of the South African ODI and Twenty20 sides
  • Kumar Sangakkarra has resigned as captain of the Sri Lankan ODI and Twenty20 sides
  • Mahela Jayawardene has resigned as vice-captain of the Sri Lankan ODI and Twenty20 sides
  • Muttiah Muralitharan has retired from cricket

There are eight above, does anyone recall others? We have the making of a pretty good ‘Gone XI’.

India: ICC Cricket World Champions


What a great way to end a great competition. India and cricket are victorious. MS Dhoni take a bow.
