Strauss in ecstasy after England waltz

ANDREW STRAUSS was delighted to finally enjoy the winning feeling again after England banished memories of a frustrating winter by beating West Indies by 10 wickets yesterday.

The captain struck the winning runs with a shot through the covers for four as England wrapped up victory inside three days in the first Test at Lord’s.

Despite the best efforts of Brendan Nash, who was the last man out for 81 for the tourists, England bowled out the tourists for 256, and then quickly knocked off the 32 runs they required for the win.
