Strauss: "After we’d fallen to the Australian all-seam attack at Headingley, hurried instructions were sent to the Oval that the groundsman, Bill Gordon, should prepare a wicket that encouraged spin bowling…In this instance, Surrey did us a huge favour by producing what looked like an old-fashioned ‘bunsen burner’ – a proper turning wicket."
