Still is, by a distance, the best opener we haveOriginally Posted by redgunamo
yep...still the best.
hopefully being free of the captaincy will get him back to his best...those india tests broke him.
Wouldn't complain if he wanted sit out a few tests and just enjoy country cricket for a while before returning. maybe even a small T20 series somewhere just to get the love back.
Yep, see above. Strauss' fault.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
He was equally over-cautious, it's true, but I think that tendency is a legacy of years of being a bit shït. This meant that even when we were good, we didn't believe in our players enough to take risks. That lack of confidence shown by the captain becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy, since it takes the belief and responsibility away from the individual players.
