That's the kind of headline that makes me want to blog again.
Why wasn't it 'ECB likely to drop Strauss'? Guess Giles Clarke isn't done licking the Ashes off Strauss' ass yet.
But the truth is, here's an unfortunate natural, one way journey that Strauss, Ricky, Yunus Khan, Shakib and even Buffalo (for a long, long, long time) followed:
Good batsman---->Captain---->Shitty batsman
Those names are just a few off the top of my head. But once you become a shitty batsman only and ONLY your captaincy is keeping you in the team. Which poses the question, is it okay to sacrifice a batsman for a captain?
I'd say it depends on the batsman or the captain or even the team. In England's case it was the team. Strauss' replacement is Cook.
Now there's a headline that will make me blog again as well.
