and the way he made it all about him yesterday was nauseating.
No issue with him deciding he's had enough but the absolute circus of his announcement during actual play and then teeing off like they needed 90 to win, not 350-plus was embarrassing.
As for Brook - I have no words for his complete unwillingness to recognise the work required to make the most of his prodigious talent.
Village idiot.
