The tv cameras panned to the Sussex bench in that game and there was Bopara messing about, grinning away.Completely agree. And then there was the match at Hampshire (I think) when as Captain he decided not to travel with the team (he lived in Essex) and turned up late. Rightly he was dropped. Not a good role model for the youngsters.
I was so incensed by that I wrote to Farbrace grassing him up.
He left not long after.
I like to think my email played a small part in that outcome.
