Retirement from International cricket after the Oval test

[Lord Snooty]

Time then for all those saying he should retire to say what a shame it is and he will be missed.

Who's next in line to take the job?

I'd say keaton Jennings is breathing a little sigh of relief as it probably means he stays. I'd say burns is the next cab off the rank and probably should play at the oval. The only thing is I dont believe the ecb like his style and technique, its not aesthetically pleasing. He's scored runs galore last few seasons and to start on rank turners in sri lanka could break him before he's even started, much like duckett.

Can see the selectors plumping for nick gubbins over burns though which in itself would be a real kick to county players

[Charlie Farley]

Class act in his prime . Should have gone two test ago and let someone have a chance on home soil .

[Lord Snooty]

Well he's only gone and done it. A ton in his final test.

What a legend.
