I really thought that he may play on for another year and possibly even play in the next Ashes series in England

Mmmmm ... I thought he'd tour once more as well. I suppose thinking about it this is a very good decision. He will know best how his body is reacting to the stresses of top class cricket and may have gauged that all he has to look forward to is the media asking "is Warne past it ?" every time he has a poor return. He's righted the "wrong" of losing the Ashes in 2005. so to speak, and is about to take an all time record of 700 wickets. Why wait for the bad times ?
Ironically, this is probably the best news England have had all tour.
Having said all that I must salute and recognise the truly all time great player that he is.
