If cricket was just a numbers game, Adam Voges will go down as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game, across all three formats.
But while the right-hander will always be remembered for his incredible Test batting average, his long-time mentor Justin Langer says the esteem with which he's held amongst his teammates is what sets him apart.
A legend of Western Australian cricket, Voges announced his retirement from the state game today having also conceded earlier in the summer that his international career was over.
