Glenn McGrath ‏@glennmcgrath11 5m

I signed a bat for Sri Lankan PM because he's a cricket fan & that reason alone!! So sad to see "Tall Poppy Syndrome" alive & well here 😢

Says that they both went poo poo more than anything. Cook's been terrible for 18 months and Pietersen's only been gone, like, 4 games, so he can't have been doing much either.
