True. But that was a flaw in the argument that he should scorer CC runs.

Strauss will be practicing for his next press conference. This hasn't gone away.

Hales was the top scorer. Must be getting close to that.

He's done well to score all these runs with the tail (well done tail as well), and turned around the innings.

Though the idea that the batter who scored 150+ at the Oval in 2005, or Mumbai in 2012 might prove himself against Leicestershire is a bit bit crazy.

8 fielders on the boundary but it doesn't matter... 3 sixes in his last 7 balls.

Leicestershire haven't won in 35/36 games on the trott and are playing on one of the best batting pitches in the CC It is a decidedly good score but no one would call for any other batsman to be called into the England team in similar circumstances.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

That's not a realistic scenario though is it? No one else in the CC has his international record.
