Rarely there is perfect finish for the great ones, as the article pointed out.

That included the likes of Don Bradman, Lara, Sobers, Richards, etc....and now Sangakarra and Jayawardene.   

Who are the great players who went out on a glory?

ICC for agreeing to it as well !

Someone should say : 'Hey , you cannot play ALL your games at your own CLUB grounds !

That is UNFAIR competition !
