News :
Andrew Strauss begins the summer searching for only his second century in his last 50 attempts in Test cricket but his tenure as captain remains assured.
Strauss, likely to be leading a debutant against West Indies at Lord's on Thursday after Jonny Bairstow was picked in a 13-man squad to replace the injured Ravi Bopara, has had his critics in recent months.
Views :
England are showing a lot of faith in Andrew Strauss. It's only a matter of time before a class player like him repays their faith. His captaincy has been quite good and he deserves a long rope. The West Indies series will probably be the series in which he comes good with the bat too. Johnny Bairstow who comes in for Ravi Bopara will be eager to make his mark. Ravi hasn't been consistent himself, and it wouldn't take more than a couple of centuries from young Bairstow to make him sit out the next series as well.
