Straussy is back in town with a book to launch. Which was the perfect opportunity for him to mangle some English language. Let's call it Captinglish. Here he boldly comments that England should not rest on euphoria.
Nice. But how do you rest on euphoria? The accepted linguistic avenue to go down in these sorts of circumstances is not to rest on ones laurels. Wickman reckons any resting that might have been happening probably stopped happening when we lost six ODIs in a row to Australia followed by one each to NZ and Australia. But as KP mentioned last week there are two momentums, Test and One Day. Maybe you can have Test and One Day laurels too? And if you do work out how to rest on euphoria, maybe you can rest on Test euphoria even if you have run out of One Day euphoria.
