ENGLAND captain Andrew Strauss is proud to be part of “something special” after leading his side to a seventh successive series win on home soil.
Strauss’s record in England since taking the reins in January 2009 is the best of any England skipper, with Monday’s nine-wicket win over West Indies at Trent Bridge sealing the latest victory. “It’s nice to achieve these milestones,” he said.
“I remember winning at Lord’s against Australia in 2009 (England’s first Ashes win at HQ in 75 years), and that was a significant feather in our caps.
“Each time you achieve one of these things it makes you feel like you’re part of something special, but it’s not something we spend a huge amount of time thinking about or talking about.
“You really appreciate winning every Test match, because Test wins are not easily come by. We’re weary after two tough Tests against the West Indies but we’re very satisfied with what we’ve achieved.” (PA Sport)
