4 Cricketers who got a fairytale farewell

#2 Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, and Justin Langer, vs England, Sydney, 2007

The trio pose after 5-0 Ashes win

The trio of Australian legends McGrath, Warne, and Justin Lane decided to retire on the same day in 1985; and they did so in some fashion.

After securing the earn at Perth, Shane Warne was the first to start the exodus of legends after he confirmed his retirement on the eve of the Boxing day Test at the MCG, where he wrote his own fairytale script with a first innings five-wicket-haul to set-up a 4-0 scoreline.

Glenn McGrath joined suit and when Justin Langer decided that he too had seen enough, a 5-0 scoreline looked imminent.

Each of the players had their own fairytale moment; Warne surpassed Mount 700 to become the then highest wicket-taker in the history of Test cricket; Glenn McGrath claimed a wicket (ironically Jamie Anderson, who surpassed his wicket-tally yesterday) of the last ball of his career and Justin Langer remained unbeaten in his final innings in Australia's 10-wicket win at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
