England's Summer Of Cricket against New Zealand and AUSTRALIA!
I've never liked Strauss very much. He's got a massively over inflated opinion of himself. He was an OK batsman and an average captain who got lucky with having so many good players in his team.
I overlook the Tory thing. Really liked him as a batsman and captain. 10th on the all time list of England run scorers. Some feat. Liked his style.
Hilarious bantz in the commentary box between Nass and Strauss with Athers **** stirring
He's 10th on the list but I think a lot of that is down to the number of games he played. His average wasn't great and after a blistering first couple of years for England his form was consistently patchy with too much swishing outside off stump. If you're going to be a swisher, be an elegant swisher like Gower was.
He was a crap captain too. Boring, unimaginative tactics and he his handling of the KP fiasco was laughable. Boo Hoo diddums, did Straussy have his feelings hurt?!
