In a recent interview  Graeme Smith, the South African Captain, has said that he is amazed by Englands Test captain Andrew Strauss not being part of the national Twenty20 squad.

It does surprise me. Strauss is in the one-day side, so I guess it’s difficult to work out why he’s not in the T20 team. He’s a leader who is trying to stamp his authority on the environment, so it is interesting why he has decided to take a week off,” The Sun quoted Smith, as saying.

“I think it’s going to be difficult for Andy Flower to work with a different captain in Paul Collingwood.

Having different views and different outlooks can be tough. Who handles team meetings, who runs the show? They are questions that are difficult for me to answer, but it must be an interesting dynamic within the side,” he added.
