Strauss miffed by Langer's dossier



"You always look for outside people to give you views on the opposition. The Aussies got him to do that but it is not of great interest to us.” said Andrew Strauss.


"When you cross that white line anything written on paper becomes irrelevant," Strauss said.


"If you look at the cricket we have played in the last nine months, I would contend that (character) is something we see in England teams," he said.


Langer said "Their fast bowler James Anderson can be "a bit of a pussy" if things do not go his way and Strauss can be too "conservative".


"It was not for me because I have played as much against these guys as Justin has, so I knew the personalities and the way a lot of the guys play," Australia captain Ricky Ponting said.


"I got a copy of it and gave it a brief read through but it was more for the younger guys in our group to get a feel about their players," he added.


"I am sure they all read every single word in the document but we haven't sat down in team meetings and talked about that because we have been searching and finding ways in our own group to play our best cricket," he said.
