a fine stroke by marto retiring without the fanfare he’s never enjoyed of a swan song at the waca, fine timing such that everyone will forever remember that great adelaide test of the 06/07 ashes series as marto’s last test. retiring after the perfect innings. i love a good one shot innings and really there’s been none more perfect than marto’s on that final day at adelaide v flintoff. marto, cheers for the mems

mate.

timing

is dispersed the whole field imparting

marto place

yourself in here vistas will open up for you big you

envy the shots he gets to feel in his hands

once cutting up the face

of a square

cut whore 4eva nail

polish manoeuvres barely visible

i cannot see marto steve w

takes on a whole new meaning after retirement

barely visible healthy

eating baby trepidation and style

he is a marigold man grass over grass

blades imparting

all force imparting timing

on his chest cricket flowers orange off the back foot

drives through the

snow covers

everything where the world should be looking
