Breaking news: Swann quit Eng team

Team Pommies crumbling

winners never quit and quitters never win

"After a great deal of consideration I have decided to call it a day on my international and first-class career," Swann said in a statement

example fuh sammy..and gibbo

WTF? This is just bizarre. I don't even. Okay if you wanna quit that's another thing, but quitting mid-series? That's just messed up, what's wrong with you Swanneh?
Oh god.

Lol!! Implosion!!!! Ha ha ha.

I agree could he not have waited. I think Collingwood did the same thing.

Graeme Swann departed Test cricket with abrupt certainty on Sunday, but not before taking a barely disguised swipe at some of his fellow England players for not respecting the game.  “Some people playing the game at the minute have no idea how far up their own backsides they are,” Swann said at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. “It will bite them on the a--e one day and when it does I hope they look back and are embarrassed about how they carry on.”

As a Test spinner for England, he is second to Derek Underwood, in terms of wickets, and possibly Jim Laker, though he took more Test wickets than him. “When I went past Jim Laker my mum phoned me up and she was almost in tears as Jim Laker was her dad’s favourite bowler and I only knew Grandad Les until I was seven or eight.
“My mum knew nothing about cricket but she always heard him mention Laker and she could not believe I’d gone past him. I couldn’t believe it either as I didn’t know how many wickets he had taken. I feel very humbled to have done that.

Completely unnecessary behaviour by Swann. The ship may be sinking but is he trying to be number one rodent ?

It all seems very strange him quitting 'with immediate effect' mid-series  :o .....

Guess the whole story will eventually come out .....
