Strauss is not a jibber:

1513 runs in 17 Tests at 54.03, a tally which included seven centuries, two of which came in a single Test against India (not jibber bowling) at Chennai in December (and after the recent terrorist attack).

Rather than a reply to any specific criticism , I think the term 'not a jibber' is merely meant as the highest praise possibly bestowed on a cricketer- speaking volumes about the character of a man in a typically British understated way.
Of course I might be wrong.
