SuggestedLeadIn: Chris Rogers confirmed he will retire from Test cricket after the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval, which will be his 25th match for his country
Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Rogers, Australia:
"I'm 38 this month and I feel old and there's other things to do in life as well, that's important. I've been lucky enough to play cricket as a living for nearly 20 years and it's been amazing and a privilege, but everything comes to an end."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Rogers, Australia:
"I think health is obviously the most important thing, but I guess when you get 37-38 you're starting to wonder whether your reflexes are slowing down. I've just been hit in the head a few too many times for my liking of late, and facing Mitch Johnson and Mitch Starc in the nets isn't my definition of fun. So I think I'm well aware that Father Time is probably calling and so I can be happy."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Rogers, Australia:
"I'd be lying if I said that there wasn't a lot of disappointment amongst the group. We came here to win and we've been outplayed. It's been a difficult week. A lot of the guys have felt a bit flat I'd imagine. All I can say is we are hugely disappointed, but saying that this is a big last game, obviously it's Michael's (Clarke) retirement as well. But, not only that, I think there are places up for grabs in this side and no one's going to be taking that for granted that's for sure."
