Chris Martin Retired

[futureblackcap]

A NZ legend has retired. Probably the right time for him though. After-all, he is 38 haha.

But I'm sure someone will pick him up as a batting coach anyway.

A good time as any. I hope he stays on a bit as a bowling consultant with Shane Bond to the current squad, either now or a bit later down the track.

Relive some Chris Martin magic:

Decent bowler but he has to be the worst batsman of all time.

But was one of the most entertaining. Nothing better than sitting back watching a New Zealand series on Foxtel and watching Chris Martin attempt to bat.

Doesn't eye have something wrong with his eyesight? Good as an excuse as any I suppose Something about the way he bounded in with his bowling style I sort of found amusing as well.

 

[futureblackcap]

I think it was more the fact that he couldn't bring a bat to practice until he was around 30 years old. That was his excuse anyway.

I'll always remember him bowling Sachin through the gate.

Very good bowler in his day.

Will be a big loss for New Zealand cricket.

The ducks of the world will be in mourning upon hearing Martin is hanging up his barely played-in bat.

I think even the most diehard kiwi fans in futureblackcap and L leftie600 will find this funny.
