Cause he has.

He's 74....all his contemporaries have left already (Gower, Botham and Holding) and Bob Willis passed away in 2019, he's been thinking about it since then, he's passing the torch to the likes of Hussain, Atherton, Ward, Key & Butcher.

Only you could believe everything Boris and Rees Mogg and Gove say yet refuse to believe an old man who in his interview with Sky Sports today said it was purely his decision to retire.

Ah sorry I made the mistake of believing the man himself rather than you (textbook error)

Yes you did.
I’m glad you recognise that.

Expect to see Bumble commentating on the winter / spring tour of the West Indies for a radio station.

Being as Bumble himself writes for the same paper I doubt it’s a random hack. And let’s see if he retires or not!

Hopefully he was cancelled. We don’t need bigots like Bumble plaguing the beautiful game of Croquet

Bigot you say? Where’s the evidence for that?

I missed the croquet bit..lol

[Johnnyspireite7]

Considering that three of Bumble’s best mates are Clive Lloyd, Farouk Engineer and Michael Holding I somehow doubt he’s a bigot

Jesus Christ - what the **** was that?

You see where this effing conversation will lead, ‘new template for county cricket’, ‘let’s thin the the county championship down and get rid of deadweight like Derbyshire and Northants’

Weak, insipid, inept and cowardly. We need some batsmen with backbones.....we'd be better picking Heather Knight and Nat Sciver than the likes of Crawley, Burns and Hameed!

That about sums the series up. If the likes of Burns, Pope or Hameed actually played for Derbyshire, how many England caps would they know have?

Sum total of 0 I’m guessing

Just spotted a Town flag in the Windies watching the cricket.

Very jealous of you whoever you may be
