Opener Andrew Strauss said simplicity was the key to his rich run of form in his eight Tests for England. "I try to keep things as simple as possible, and so far it's worked pretty well for me," Strauss told a news conference. "Test cricket is a mental test. When I get in the middle I try to have nothing in my head, no technical thoughts. "I try to clear the brain."
In 16 innings Strauss has scored 810 runs at an average of 57.86, with three centuries.
He scored 126 in the first innings of the first Test against South Africa in Port Elizabeth, and guided England to a seven-wicket win on Tuesday with an unbeaten 94 in the second.
"You don't expect to be scoring hundreds left, right and centre early in your career, but fortunately I've been able to contribute in the eight Test matches I've played."
