England rest captain Strauss against Bangladesh

Yes, and it is a strange decision from both the parties. Strauss has been in poor form off late and a workout with Bangladesh would have been ideal to find his form. Also, as a captain you do not want to be out and leave the tour to youngsters. I think Cook still has some way to go before he can lead a full fledged International side. So I just think ECB is taking Bangladesh lightly. Cheers! Ram
