The Martyn Puzzle
It's been a year since one of my favorite players, Damien Martyn, pulled down the shutters on his career, surprising fans like me, not to mention shocking his own teammates and well-wishers.Will Swanton examines some of the ironies that Martyn has left behind in his wake. Nice article. Hope you're doing fine, Marto.

Ahh, a fellow Martyn lover. We’re a special breed. I don’t know about that article though, a lot seemed founded on hear-say and not fact and I’m not sure some are ironies. He also withdrew from that cricket league because they changed the dates and his wife is expecting the baby in the revised time schedule. I think he was hoping for an interview, didn’t get it so ended up writing this. Still I’ll take any article on Marto, and may I just add, I love the fact he’s so press-shy. Mmmm, so enigmatic and elegant. I miss him dearly, test cricket is just not the same anymore. I really want someone (John Townsend) to write the unauthorised biography.
Damien Martyn - one of the few who could be stylish even while fielding in the deep!!!
