No, it's obvious that his sister is nailing Geoff Miller so that he keeps getting selected.

This calls for another em@il to the ECB demanding to know why Strauss or whoever thought bowling short was the right idea.
It's absolutely ridiculous that captains can just do such stuff that beggars all common-sense and pay for it only in a tearful resignation 4 years later where everyone sympathises with them anyway.

Or he's doing Strauss on the side.

He won't though, and everyone knows it. Strauss has captained dreadfully this series but if England win it (or even if they're not thrashed, which looks increasingly unlikely) then he'll be hailed as a fine leader.

Make sure we don't have to follow on so that if something goes wrong later on in the Test then it doesn't reflect as badly on Strauss. Stroke of genuis.

Sorry for mentioning 2005 lads, but Strauss' bowling changes are a far cry from Vaughan's back then when he'd rotate Flintoff, Giles, Jones, Hoggard and Harmison perfectly. It was certainly far better than having a lanky blonde waste of space bowling absolute trash constantly from one end all day.

Ridiculous tactic from Broad to bowl 6 short balls an over, get a spinner on ffs. Guess I was wrong about Broad, he is crap, bring Harmy in. We know it won't happen though, Broads in for the rest of the series.

My guess is Strauss spotted him across the room in a dark nightclub on a team night out, thought he was a woman, and slept with him. Broad took pictures.

Had hoped Strauss had been called to the dressing room to be blasted for his tactics, but no...seems like Broad is still on and still bowling short

Dan i'm glad you admit that Broad is garbage. This is some of the most mindless bowling i've ever seen from a Test match bowler.

If anything Broad is Strauss's girlfriend on the side.

FFS THIRD MAN! ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eurgh, shocking captaincy, shocking bowling. Only consolation is that Broad is getting mullered. Broad and Strauss are costing is the Test and further down the line they are going to cost us the series. I know Pietesen's a nob but if he was captain he'd have had Broad off ages ago.

Hmm, Harmison was a lanky waste of space bowling absolute trash for the last four Tests; Hoggard was a blonde waste of space bowling absolute trash for the first three.
But yes! Vaughan had some sense - he hardly used either of them at all in the Tests in question. What a genius strategy - bowl your bowlers who are bowling well!
