County - Caddick to retire

Eurosport - Mon, 03 Aug 11:53:00 2009

Former England seamer Andrew Caddick is to retire from all cricket at the end of the season.

CRICKET; Andy Caddick, Somerset, Dec 2007 - 0

The 40-year-old played 62 Tests taking 234 wickets at 29.91 and also claimed 69 victims in 54 one-day internationals. He is eighth in the list of all-time England Test wicket-takers.

Caddick has been a consistent performer with Somerset since his last international appearance in 2003 and was the leading English wicket-taker in 2007, but injuries plagued him for much of last season and the beginning of this one.

He bows out having taken 1,175 first-class wickets with career-best figures of nine for 32.

  3. Why was Caddick jettisoned from the England setup so­ prematurely. The moody big-eared one had a lot still to­ offer. Still, enjoy retirement.
