But is it about time we brought Strauss back in to the side?

Absolutely CrazyLady. Bring em all back!!!!!
On a serious note, unless the openers perform better against Sri Lanka on Wednesday it will be time to make that change.

It is always great to see an engalnd player perform and because collingwood is an all rounder he is a greater asset then Strauss. Although Strauss can be more prolific and damaginging.
However dont wait to long as will forget about him like we have done in the past with other great players. Eg Mark butcher and Mark Ramprakash.
I know they cant be included now but their careers suffered as a result of being left out.

Right on with the Collingwood praise, but I wish p[eople would stop putting him forward as a captain. He is an all-rounder and an exceptional fielder. He already has enough to deal with
As for Strauss, he had a good crack at one-dayers and didn't accomplish much - batting average of 32. He and bell are much the same and I suppose the selectors reckon that Bell, beig the younger has more time to develop. Neither are great.

Collingwood is such an asset! I've lost count of the MOM awards he has gotten since the one day finals in Oz. Get rid of Vaughan and bring Strauss back in. As much as I'd love to see Colly be the captain, he'd be stoked enough to get the vice. Have Strauss as captain. I'm sure he has gathered much info and played tactics over and over in his mind while he's been just watching.

Collingwood is a fantastic cricketer, "hooray" for him indeed! Yes, Strauss should come back, but not to replace Colly (Is that was you meant?). Both players should be in the team together.

Yes. His knock of 90 runs was indeed a great knock and helped England to a very good score. He is a very good player for England Team. I think if Strauss is in the team, the batting line up of England will be strengthened.

At last someone is making sense. Give him the Captains job as well.
