Actually I am not surprised to hear such comments from the captain of a county but it is all too familiar rhetoric.
I'd like to think he includes himself within the players needing to "stand up".
Personally I would have liked to see somebody else, Hogan or Ingram maybe, given the captaincy this season and free Rudolph up to just concentrate on giving the innings a solid foundation on which to build a decent total.
It would also have been easier to "rest" him.
As Pearcey says, Leicestershire are not a good side and if we lose to them, will be in for another rough ride I'm afraid
