Harbhajan Singh announces http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Makhaya-Ntini-c73953’s retirement!
Harbhajan Singh gave the press a shock with his announcement. According to Harbhajan Singh, Makhaya Ntini, the most popular player in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, will with immediate effect retire from Test cricket. Harbhajan announced the pace bowlers retirement yesterday to the press.
Makhaya Ntini ranks the first Black African playing for South Africa. His performance against England during the series had been rather low. He failed to get any wicket against England for 29 overs. The Durban pitch did not seem to favour Ntini that much. Ntini seemed to have lost his pace, 2 for 233 was not a good sign.
The announcements proof seemed to be a small piece of paper which declared Ntini’s decision. It seemed like a hurriedly written proclamation. Harbhajan stated Ntini’s decision with a heavy heart. Further adding that now he is the leading wicket taker in Tests among all those who are still active. Harbhajan confirmed Ntini’s decision is with immediate effect.
According to the latest news, Harbhajan tore the piece of evidence after the announcing the pace bowler’s retirement. Harbhajan said that Ntini has now devoted his efforts to ODI’s and T20’s. He further accepted that although he now holds the highest wickets in Tests, he is nowhere close to this honour in T20 or ODI. Harbhajan also pointed out the Ntini’s chances of entering the South African squad which seemed too bleak. Harbhajan thus stated that players must stay aware to when the dead end is approaching.
Harbhajan said that this is the right time for Makhya to retire. He stated that this will give the younger players an opportunity to shine. He thanked the entire South African Cricket Board, the players and the selectors on his behalf. The appreciation was regarding the honour Ntini had in representing South Africa in Tests.
The earlier announcement made by the Indian right hander was rather a surprise. Quite a few were left astounded by this declaration, including Ntini. Harbhajan said that it’s about time that Ntini moves on. When Ntini was inquired regarding this announcement, he was rather amused. Ntini said that he too had heard this from the news. It felt as the pace bowler was carrying a huge grin on his face and said he had no idea that he was supposed to retire.
Ntini might be grinning from ear to ear, but Gerald Majola was highly agitated. During the press conference, his calls were constantly being ignored by Harbhajan.
Ntini however handled the matter with grace. He stated that he thought he had retired last year with something that seemed like a huge grin.
Makhaya Ntini now stands firm to the decision taken by somebody else. His retirement decision, although taken by Harbhajan, now stands as a correct decision. Ntini also said that he was sorry to learn it form the hearsay. Other than that? Well, he’s cool with it.
The effects of current bulletin board can be seen. The Harbhajan-Ntini drama has led many players to rethink of their retirement plans.
According to the aggressive http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750...again! Some critics will now advise players like Imran Khan, Chris Harris and Stuart Law to kindly review and confirm their retirement. But no one is sure if Harbhajan will like to do the honours or not.
With all the hassle that has been around, Harbhajan did not let anyone get to him. So all the critics out there, let us not defame the kings newly acquired title shall we, Harbhajan is profoundly happy and cannot seem to thank, the former greats to have retired, enough. He appreciates those who have the courtesy to retire. Harbhajan also asks other players to show good sportsmanship. After all, Singh is King.
On a final note, the thirty year old said he has a lot to look forward to in the coming month. He said he will be announcing Andrew Symonds decision to retire from public life soon.
