Been pretty much the voice of cricket for me. Won't be the same without him.

I dont quite agree with the thread being named in favour of Michael Holding here. This is a thread for active cricket players. Start a separate one for your commentary fanbase.

I don't quite agree that a separate thread for commentators is the way to go. So I reckon I'll leave it here.

In all fairness, the "Holding retirement" should not be discussed in this thread at all. It sets a wrong precedent that one can discuss off-topic elements on this forum.

It ain't off-topic if it's the thread title (:

Ehh? So tomorrow if an umpire/match referee/coach/cricket admin were to retire, he would get a mention here?

I would assume the retirement thread talks of active players only,not of players-turned - whatsoever

Come on, is this really a big issue?

 

[Ed Smith]

Reckon you could just leave the worries of what is discussed in this tread to the staff @icyman. There's a good chap.

Mo Ali announces retirement from Test cricket

Moeen Ali to announce retirement from Test cricket

England allrounder uncomfortable with spending extended time away from home for winter's Ashes

If I look back at his career, I think he exceeded expectations on some levels. 190+ Test wickets is no joke for a bloke who came into the side as a batsman who could bowl part time.

Fair play to Mo, a solid test career well above expectation (of fans, I still feel management though he was something he's not)

Hope this announcement is OK in here mind, since he's technically not fully retired. Would hate for you to upset the Retirement Thread police...

 

[Dutch]

His retirement announcement has at least caused more spin than he ever achieved playing!

I am really unhappy that @wasteyouryouth beat me to it.
