The England captain could not stop seething over the match fixing allegations since they broke out. With a rather testy England Pakistan ODI series out of the way, Andrew Strauss voiced what the England cricketers have been moaning about all along - they did not want to play the series and they want action over aspersions.

Strauss spoke to the media and stated, "This summer has clearly demonstrated when there is a sniff of something in the air it devalues the whole game and nobody wants to play cricket in those circumstances."
Strauss also stressed the game's governing body to continue their efforts towards unearthing those guilty of malpractice, "The ICC must leave no stone unturned. We are keen to move on from this series and very keen not to have a repeat of this at any time in the future, which is why it's so important the ICC take a very strong lead from now on and don't take a breather now this series finished."
England indeed cannot wait to move on, and they plan to as the England team for the Ashes is expected to be announced soon.
