"I get a text on Mother's Day and a text on my birthday," Johnson's mom sobbed to Australia’s Herald Sun. "The last time I actually spoke to him was when the beach cricket was here (and) Dennis Lillee told him he had to ring his mother, so Mitchell rang me that day. It has been like this since Jess came on the scene.”

"For the wives and the children I think it is great that they support them and send them over there, but who are these girlfriends? They are just girlfriends,” Ms Harber said, in a string of quotations that sounds more like a script for Neighbours. "Mitch met Jess and since then she has flown off to South Africa, to England and the Bahamas. She gets all these trips, she gets flown there, accommodation, food and all of that."

You agree with 'her'? Girlfriend or mother, because they both are in the picture at the same time.

How to think back at the Imran Farhat's sussar story. When he was kicked out of the team in 2007, and repeatedly kept out, one day his sussar couldn't take it anymore and decided to complain against the selection policies in the media. To an extent that he called Farhat a "National Hero" and blamed selectors for injustice against his son-in-law. Of course the selectors hit back at the criticism directed towards them, but at that time, it was fun to watch the story unfold. Pakistan were still struggling with finding the right opening combination and he was one but thankfully not anymore.
