Who says Strauss isn't a limited overs player ?
Anyone who, like me, was at The Oval on April 20th last year when he took 163 off Surrey in a Friends Provident Trophy match, would disagree.
The best bit was that I was with a pal who's a member of Surrey!

For what it's worth my take on it is that Strauss can bat in the middle order in ODIs workiong the ball into gaps, but I think he'll struggle to make use of the field restrictions at the start if he opens.
What will be interesting will be seeing how he plays because the opposition will bowl to the shots that he has cut out of his game. In Tests he now leaves near half-volleys outside off-stump but he won't have that luxury. On the plus side it could improve his Test game if he can slowly regain his confidence playing fluent cover drives etc. I really do hope he comes through or it will be more turmoil on the skipper front.
