why would Larwood need to apologise to New Zealand, India and West Indies as England played them before playing Australia since Bodyline and as you said " Larwood refused to apologise to the Australians "
He never bowled fast leg theory to them.
But he missed the tests after Bodyline which England played New Zealand, India and West Indies. Therefore his last test was against Australia in the Bodyline series.
So I mentioned apart from the not wanting to apologise , He was disillusioned, confused and exhausted after the tour, nursing serious injuries and haggling with the tight-fisted MCC to cough up the money for treatment,
Even the English did not spare him, disowning him and questioning his motives, tactics and spirit with in the game.....
are part of the reason he retired from test cricket

No, the reason he retired was because he wouldn't apologise to australia. He was told to apologise or he would never play for England again. He refused and effectively retired.

He continued playing county cricket though.

Amazing GIAE hasn't critizied Wade for attempting to cheat for obstructing the field(credit to England for not appealing)or is because England are the only test playing nation to have a player dismissed in test , 50 over and 20/20 for obstructing the field .

He wasn't attempting to cheat, he did cheat. It's a 20/20 friendly, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it though.

Imagine the whingeing if they lost
Personally, if I did what Wade did, then looked up at the screen to see what I had actually done (upon reflection) I would have walked. That would have been the right thing to do and in the correct spirit.

None. We'd have laughed reninded you that cheating is in your DNA and then laughed more because it was a nothing game. You're obsessed runner up.

I generally don't care about friendlies, let alone T20 friendlies.

Unreal batting. No slogging just pure batting and without root doing anything. Bowling was poor and quick outfield but still a remarkable effort. Brook to me looks like a star in the making.

During the T20 WC the commentators all said he was a real talent , 100 from 80 balls he looked pretty impressive.
He's a Tyke following in the footsteps of Joe Root another great Yorkshireman.
