Simon Hughes, writing for the Telegraph, looks at how Andrew Strauss has bettered his one-day cricket skills with the help of a golf swing.
Until he [Strauss] took over as England captain two years ago he wasn’t even considered a one-day batsman … All Strauss has really done is added a bit of purpose to an otherwise sound method.
The one extra dimension he has added to his one day game is six-hitting. He rarely hit balls over the ropes until two years ago when he adapted his prowess at golf – he plays off five – into his batting.
