Poor Andrew Strauss must have been watching Alistair Cook this morning and wondering if he really did make the right choice to stay home rather than join England's tour of Bangladesh.
True the opposition are not at the top of the cricketting ladder but when you struggled like Strauss did over the tour of South Africa then you will surely be eager for runs at the next opportunity. This tour always looked like it would provide just that.
Cook (or "Chef") as Kevin Pieterson called him lost the toss and was rewarded with the opportunity to bat and his 158 today can only have done him good.
Strauss may be a little burnt out and tired and I'm sure in one way it will have cheered him to see his colleagues racking up runs and finding some form. However in another way I'll bet there is a part of him that is wishing he'd gone now.....
