Post Playing Days
Cameron went on one last tour – aged 33, he went to England in the 1965 season and played two of the three Tests there. However, after taking two wickets in the first two matches, and after bowling figures of 32–5–122–0 in a tour match against Warwickshire, Cameron was left out of the team to play the third Test. He did play the last three tour matches against Scotland, Ireland and Netherlands, taking 19 wickets, but was never selected again for Test cricket, and retired after the 1966–67 season. Later, he became chairman of New Zealand's selectors, and served as match referee in three Tests and five One Day Internationals.

Famous quotes containing the words post, playing and/or days:
“Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
The mist in my face,
When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
I am nearing the place,
The power of the night, the press of the storm,
The post of the foe;
Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
Yet the strong man must go:”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“I’ve given parties that have made Indian rajahs green with envy. I’ve had prima donnas break $10,000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. When you were still playing button back in Ohio, I entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that I had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“That woman’s days were spent
In ignorant good-will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
