Because I'm 46, my eyes have gone and I played at a reasonable enough standard that I always swore I wouldn't be one of those old ****s who hangs around playing in the stiffs with kids and similarly ancient types. Plus, everything in cricket apart from the batting and the banter is either shít (fielding) or I'm shít at it (bowling).
And are you sure they aren't calling you 'Pull-back Paul' because they've noticed you're circumcised?
The eyes did for me as well - never wanted to bat in glass and couldn't wear contacts comfortably. Plus as you say, fielding with a hangover

Oh, contacts gave me a few more good years, but eventually you just stop being able to pick the length and speed of the ball up early enough. The last season I played I got bowled an embarrassing number of times. Sod that.

Indeed - better to bow out with a bit of dignity left

After playing golf for the first time in over 12 months last week... i think i need contacts, half the time I had no idea where the ball had gone (even when it was straight)

My distance vision is OK, but I'm going to have to bite the bullet and start using reading glasses. My arms just aren't long enough to comfortably read my phone anymore.
