For the bitchy media, when it comes to sport, sometimes it's not the winning but the talking part that counts. The post-match quotes, the interviews. Whether it's the Bundesliga, the NBA or F1, wags are looking for clangers, clichés, linguistic knuckle-dragging - and they don't have to go far to find them. England's Ashes-winning cricket captain Andrew Strauss is no such dolt; he's the hero of the summer; he's put his money where his mouth is, led from the front, I don't want to give him any stick. But there's just one thing, Straussy. Just something you said.
