McGrath comes clean - he *is* retiring


Okay, now it's getting ridiculous. The ink has barely dried on yesterday's news that Glenn McGrath wasn't retiring when he came out today and admitted that yes, he actually will retire after the World Cup:
"The plan I had come up with Shane was he would go before Melbourne and me before Sydney, but with the hearsay and the scrutiny we wanted to get it out of the way. Trying to deny about retiring is a bit tough, I've always been honest."
Keeping such an intricate conspiracy under wraps was always going to be tough for a guy who features Pig Shooters Monthly as his bedside reading. I'd post a long, wordy tribute about Pigeon who is a deadset champion but to be honest, I'm over all the retirement talk. This is what happens when a Test series is decided by the third match - if England had somehow been able to keep the series alive, we'd have been spared all this talk till after Sydney!

There's only one way to keep this series alive...

Best of 7 then eh, chaps?

Or double or nothing at the MCG

Good way to prolong McGrath and Warnie's playing careers
