Selectors expects a turnaround for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 – Cricket News Update

National team selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Geoffrey-Miller-c58870, has shown backing for under fire England’s Test skipper, Andrew Strauss, claiming that the left-hander will turnaround his fortunes in the upcoming series despite his evident lack of runs.
"Of course, we do stand by Andrew Strauss," he said. "He's probably not scored the amount of runs he would have liked. But I'm sure they're just round the corner. He's a quality player."
The Englishmen has been criticised heavily for his performances, which has seen him fail to score a century since his ton against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 at home in 2011, despite the Poms finishing as the no.1 ranked side in the world.
The current year began on a disappointing note, after the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, tying the series at one a piece.
Despite his inability to add significantly in terms of runs, Strauss has always been considered as the right man to lead the English contingent. He has always managed to garnish positive response from his players, who respect his leadership capabilities and have always shown eagerness to work under him.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362, their head coach, recently admitted that the form of the veteran was a concern but remained adamant that he will lead the team for the upcoming home summer. Flower’s words have now been echoed by Miller as well.
With the team now preparing themselves for a tough summer, which starts with a Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866. He recently added another 40-odd during the game against Notts, forcing Miller to feel confident that the Test skipper will swiftly return to form.
"He's just started to get runs - 40 odd not out (on Saturday) - I'm sure that will be the turnaround in his fortunes," he said.
"We wouldn't just say, 'Well, you've got so many games to prove it'.We don't work like that. We'll know when it's the right time, if it's detrimental to the side - and he'll know that as well,” added http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Miller-c76318.
