The last hurrah
Nasser Hussain announced his retirement from the game on May 27, three days after scoring a match-winning Test century against New Zealand.
'Age has been catching up on me a little bit -- the body, the mind, the fire in the stomach and the eyes a little bit have started to deteriorate,' the former England captain confessed.

Hussain -- who has a reputation for prickliness -- said he did not want to be tapped on the shoulder one day by the selectors and told he was dropped.
He played 96 Tests, averaging 37.18 and scoring 14 centuries. A right-handed batsman, he also played 88 one-dayers, averaging 30.28, but retired from the shorter game after the 2003 World Cup.
