I feel with Jordan Cox destined for a run in the England team and Sam Cook injured, it can't last. But I can dream. #cricket #CountyChampionship
Still not bottom of the table, still in a relegation place though #HampshireCricket #cricket #CountyChampionship

If you're actually worried about someone's mental state, and you want to "respect" your relationship "and the confidentiality of it", what you don't do is dangle a load of juicy quotes in front of the media and set off yet another feeding frenzy of semi-informed speculation about that person.

I think this has erased what remained of my good opinion of McCullum.
