Wait so he’s retiring mid-series??
I’m kinda confused, like did he retire because of that last shot or just randomly? Seems like everyone’s acting shocked but I feel like this was coming.
The headline says “bow out” but the article snippet makes it sound like he just played a final shot on day four. So England bow out of the match/test too, or is it only Ben? My TV glitched the other day and I missed half so idk.
I saw something on TikTok that said he’s retiring to go coach golf or something?? But Sky’s talking about Trott reactions and retirement being a huge shock, which makes no sense if he already planned it. Also why is it always Trent Bridge, like that stadium has lore or whatever. Either way, England losing is gonna be brutal.
