"Difficult piece to write this, given my unashamed admiration for the man and the fact that, without even a hint of hyperbole, he will always be considered a legend of the county game. But I am worried about Graeme Hick. Worried that a glorious career might be heading for a less-than- glorious ending.
Opinion is divided among opponents as to Hick's current powers. "Nothing like he used to be, much less imposing at the crease," some say; "no different - he's just been caught on some poor pitches," others say. Only Hick himself knows."
