Andrew Strauss has announced his retirement....
All the best Strauss
Attachment 1717
for long we were basically minnows in tests save for few ATG performances here and there..care to mention any other Indian side which got the results as well as had the ATG players :huh: imo class of 2008-2011 will be long remembered as golden generation in Indian cricket.Quote:
unga captainukku idhu theriyumA :lol2:
:shock:
Just now made 2 back to back centuries! Why the deuce is he retiring?
Quitting captaincy is one thing -thistoomach.
Err, that was against WI. He averages 30 or something over the last two years.
Strauss retirement has really put a spanner in the works wrt their batting lineup..Trott to open with Cook/Bell @ 3 and everyone else to move a position up..this makes KP's position in the lineup almost impregnable :noteeth: even in Strauss's press conference scribes were more anxious to know about chances of KP touring India..morality test of sorts for Andy.. exciting times ahead :)
Yeah, so? After a drought he came back to score those runs.
Now just because he didn't perform against SA, he has to retire??
He did well in India last time. Now, just because of Dubai, he is giving up on performing in the subcontinent?
Cook-Strauss put up a decent stand in Colombo, that laid the platform for KP.
Irresponsible of him to leave England in the lurch when they are going to face India in India. Particularly when KP is not going to play and the team is already weak.
There is nobody groomed for the challenge.
And the media already praising his 'timing' :roll:

keduvAn kEdu ninaippAn. Flower/ECB played a media campaign game against KP to oust him. But they ended up losing Strauss in the process. There is a moral in this story for Andy Pooh.
(actually, there is a moral in this story for me - and I am learning the moral and implementing it immediat !)
