A Quote by Andrew Strauss

Some really good players are coming out of county cricket. Better preparation, and looking after yourself physically are things that counties should still have to strive for. Also, the volume of county cricket is still far too high. I'd definitely like less county cricket.
I like back-to-back Tests at the end of a series, without any county game in between. We know county cricket has no bearing on Test cricket.
Obviously, I'm enjoying my County stint. This is the first time I am playing County cricket and it's a different experience. It's an opportunity of a lifetime and everyone should play it.
Through county cricket all the way up to international cricket, the individual needs to be responsible for his behaviour.
It's always nice to get a call-up when in decent nick as you can have that confidence coming into the game. It's what county cricket should do.
The International Cricket Calender shouldn't be so packed with action that it drives spectators away. Also there should be enough space between cricket events to help players recharge their batteries - not just physically but mentally too.
The most famous cricketers are too big to play county cricket.
I had to stop being a student idiot and become more sensible and organised and that definitely improved my batting. I also reacted far more quickly to situations in Test cricket because I'd been a county captain. It made a huge difference.
I'm delighted to have signed for such an ambitious club as Hampshire. I'm very much looking forward to my first taste of county cricket. It's also an honour to follow other Bajans like Malcolm Marshall and Gordon Greenidge to Hampshire.
Test cricket is a different sort of cricket altogether. Some players who are good for one-day cricket may be a handicap in a Test match.
You can't now do county and international cricket and have a life.
When I played 2 months in county cricket, I learnt a lot.
County cricket has helped every player who has been part of it.
I have never tried to hide my ambition to work in county cricket one day.
In one sense, what happens for me outside of cricket gives me that break - the farming means I have a really different life outside of cricket; it's not just cricket, cricket, cricket for 12 months of the year.
We learnt a lot from county cricket - even if we did not earn stacks of money from it.
I would have enjoyed playing some county cricket and learning my art that way, but I never had any ambitions at all to play for England, that's for sure.
