On A Long Overdue Retirement

So 'He Who Would Never Retire' finally goes, but not before renouncing his greatness at the altar of statistics. From "The Greatest Cricketer Ever" to "The Highest Run-Accumulator Ever" is not really a great leap forward, in my books.

And none else but he himself is responsible for it. He should have acknowledged his Performance Menopause right after WC 2011.

Therein lies his life's greatest tragedy and biggest irony: that he failed to stop when he should have and thereby overstayed his welcome. Happy retirement, S10.
