Does Andrew Strauss’ lack of personal success at last night’s Sports Personality awards mean The Ashes should be free to view on television? Or does Charlotte Edwards’ success in 2009 mean they should stay behind a paywall?
“One of the greatest achievements we were able to do as a team over the summer was that when the going got tough we got closer rather than further apart. When you are in line for an award like this you are keen to win it because it shows what you are doing is quite important to people” – Andrew Strauss is hoping for team success at the Sports Personality awards tonight.
Andrew Strauss is the sole member of England’s Ashes-winning team to make the BBC Sports Personality shortlist in a year of bookies’ favourites from the traditional awards powerhouses of athletics, motorsport and boxing.
