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:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“A normal adolescent is so restless and twitchy and awkward that he can mange to injure his knee—not playing soccer, not playing football—but by falling off his chair in the middle of French class.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“Ruskin’s counsel: The labour of two days ... is that for which you ask two hundred guineas?
Whistler: No: I ask it for the knowledge of a lifetime.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
