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:
“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In retirement, I look for days off from my days off.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
