Warne set to retire, reports suggest

Shane Warne will announce this week that he is to retire at the end of the current Ashes series, Australia's Channel Nine reported. The television station, which has used Warne as a part-time commentator in the past, also said Glenn McGrath would quit the game after the fifth Test at Sydney starting on January 2.
The report said Warne, Test cricket's leading wicket taker, would hold a press conference on Thursday to announce his career is ending after the Sydney Test. Warne, 37, hinted at retirement after Australia crushed England at Perth's WACA ground to reclaim the Ashes after last year's shock loss.
"These are the things you're going to miss," he said as the WACA crowd and team-mates celebrated the win. "I'm closer to the end than the bloody start." Warne has 699 Test wickets and is set to pass the 700 mark before his home crowd at the MCG in the fourth Test beginning December 26.
Many of the highlights in Warne's 143 Tests have come against traditional rivals England, and Paul Collingwood said today the bowler was still capable of staying on to tour England in 2009. "He'll be old but I'm sure he'll be able to still land a ball," he said, hailing Warne as the best bowler ever.
At the start of the year Warne's manager Jason Warne hinted the bowler might make a return in time for next year's World Cup. In May Warne said: "If I'm bowling well and enjoying it, I've got no right to say this is my last Test match in Sydney next year. Who knows? I might be able to make another Ashes series out here [England] in 2009."
McGrath is the third-leading Test wicket taker in history and his loss combined with Warne's departure would represent the end of a golden era for Australian cricket. It would continue the changing of the guard after Damien Martyn's surprise departure after the second Test at Adelaide.
Cricket Australia spokesman Peter Young said it was up to Warne and McGrath to make any announcements regarding their futures. "There is nothing we can say," he said. "Those two players are the masters of their own destiny and the owners of their own futures and when they announce decisions on their futures is up to them." Young said he was not in a position to say whether McGrath or Warne had contacted Cricket Australia.

They have been excellent servants to the game and they are true champions in our mind and have done this country more than proud.

I reckon Mc Grath could push to the World Cup i thought that was definately going to be his last time in international cricket.
Shane went with his x wife last night hiding out in 1 of the melbourne suburbs to escape from the media.

mcgrath has said he wants to spend more time with his wife so has canned the world cup!
Just a quick rough stat.
These guys have played around 120 matches together.
they have claimed 555+634 wickets together=1189 Wickets or there abouts.
That means out of a possible 2400 wickets in that time these guys have gottan half the wickets. In actual wickets taken (dissregarding washed out games, declerations, not out batsmen, DNB) They have gotten about 70% of the Australian wickets over the last 13 cricket seasons.

I was thinking the other day Warne has been around for a while now but if he goes while he is still playing great it will be a hell of a shame,but he probably wants to do something else,best of luck to him,
