Andrew Strauss quotes:

The previous generation, such as Alec Stewart and Nasser Hussain, lost to Australia on many occasions.

Glenn McGrath had a reasonable career in Australia.

Watching the ball is always a good starting point.

I should and can play better. That is going to be the challenge for me.

I may be surprised. But I don't think I will be.

I am extremely proud of everything I have achieved as a cricketer, and I have found myself very fortunate to play in an era when some of English cricket's greatest moments have occurred.

My caddy today was a Scot and he told me that he was cheering for Australia, which I thought was a bit harsh. But generally I've been amazed at how many people have come up to me here in Scotland and said: 'I've never really watched cricket before, but I was hooked all summer.' It's great.
