What?

Own a villa in Barbados?
Or dump on ex team mates in public by pushing the knife in deeper when English cricket is at its lowest right now?

Interesting development though.
I thought of that example myself. If they don't get on then they should have the sense to put it to one side when they get on the cricket field. They don't have to go drinking together, don't even need to speak to each other apart from about cricketing matters relating to the match in progress. But they must realise that they are the senior players, the only two world-class players, and their performances and influence on the younger players will make or break the next few years of English cricket.

Doesn't just apply to sport. Some of the best performing businesses I've worked for had people who couldn't stand each other outside the office working there. They were professionals and high-performers in the office and got the job done.
