four of the top five managing 12 between em is pretty shite.

strauss has only made 107 in six innings, shite effort.

Questions will be asked about Strauss no doubt

I'd question negative tactics as well mate, though this match may not yet be done

Go back a couple of years and i would have agreed with you but when one more wicket falls i,m sure the rest will go pretty quickly..

This effectively is the last chance saloon as should either of these get out Anderson and Finn wont offer much resistance. 99 to win

missed the end thanks to my lap top packing up!

if only the batsman had shown the same fight as the bowlers.

strauss always does well against the poorer teams, less so against the big boys it seems to me.

Strauss to me is far too inconsistent as a batter. He did as well as anyone against the Aussies in 2005 and then dipped. Lost his place and was recalled then under pressure scored a crucial ton. Can't remember who against though.

Even though England reached number one status under his captaincy I think this was despite his tactics and not a result of them. He's far too negative for my liking with his field placings when the bowlers want to attack and his declarations are a joke.

How the fuck have you killed another laptop mate?

All that horse porn mate! Can you not do a factory reset in safe mode to get rid of the shit that's accumulated?
