Now that Test captains are being appointed at an early ago, it seems that we can also expect them to retire at an early age.

At the ripe old age of 27, England's great skipper Peter May makes this remarkable pronouncement: "I've put a five-year limit on my play- ing career. This all-year-round cricket is a bit wearing."

Looking a bit drawn, May has won only twice - in 1929 Lesley Hornby, a 21-year-old told me: "I've lost 10 lb ID and 1933.
