I read about it earlier. Is this a bad sign for cricket in Australia?

No, it's not necessarily a bad sign; it's really only the physio, but he's just become so well known, over here particularly, that it's strange to see him moving on to another field- if he retired from the profession, it wouldn't seem as weird....

Agreed definitely do see this coming. At least the South boys will be fit! Now we need to find ourself another physio.
