He also said that the situation will only sink in when England are 20-2 at Headingley and he realises that he won't be going out to help sort it out. He recovered pretty quickly, saying that hopefully it won't happen and England will be 500-2 - and I hope he's right. Whatever happens, I agree, FF, that Hussain has shown a maturity which not all sportsmen possess. There comes a point when we all have to say, whatever line we are in, that we have done all we can do and it is time for someone else to take over. England owes Hussain a huge debt of gratitude for long and loyal service as player and captain. I look forward to reading the tributes in the papers tomorrow.
