Former England captain Andrew Strauss, speaking to Angus Fraser in the Independent, speaks about what he's been up to post retirement and his successor Alastair Cook.
He has an incredible temperament for Test cricket. He is very calm. He doesn't look too far ahead. He literally does play the game one ball at a time. He has a great defensive technique and there is no ego to his game. In his batting there is a complete lack of emotion, which is perfect. Underneath there must be a lot of emotion but he allows his mind to control any nerves, frustration or fire in his belly.
