Never a dull moment with Styris
New Zealand allrounder Scott Styris recently announced his retirement from international cricket
It was never dull when Styris was around. He has been a polarising figure, both in cricketing circles and with the greater public. He grew sick of hearing about "the great team of the 80s", constantly felt hard done by at the hands of the selectors, and by the end of his career was trying to control how the media should operate. In short he could hit boundaries but didn't always know them.
