One of the finest classic batsmen of all the time.

When he was in career he is the most underrated..after his retirement people recognised he was a legendary Batsmen 😁😁

jesus, its something else watching an england opener driving, sweeping, cutting and looking comfortable at the crease. opening partnership over 100. Straus was a truly masterful test cricketer. could play the short form too but took pride in actually exhibiting his talents in the longest format.

As a kid, he had been my favourite batsman

[surajssubramanian]

A tremendous captain. Strauss always led from the front

[DavidPaul-rnis]

There is a sound when the ball comes of the bat and throughout this series there was like a machine sound

[jerinjerome]

I love his square cut what a pleasure to watch ❤️

[sharanvishnusundararajan]

Stylish and Elegant 🔥just love the way he cuts the ball and bring his bat behind his head for the balance

[tahaalam]

If 2005 Ashes was a beginning then 2009 Ashes was a complete domination of England .

[kkobsessed]

A fan since 2011 wc. So cool calm composed and no to forgot Handsome ! 😁 As a kid the only foreign cricketer I was struck with was Strauss

[r.pranavsubramaniam]

Andrew Strauss is my favourite English cricketer. His batting style is very good and nice. Alastair Cook is a suitable batting pair for Andrew Strauss. Both of them were good openers for England. And he was a good captain for England.

[caleb-molk]

Pure class. Take me back to the halcyon days of Cook/Strauss demolishing Australia away and at home.

[surajssubramanian]

Also as a selector, he has done a commendable job

[marufrohan]

I am left handed batsmen and saw England opening with marcus trescothick and Andrew stauss back in 2005. Since then he was one of my favourite players

[hashimrahmanofficial]

Stylish cuts & pulls.. Best elegant left hander after David gover.. !!❤

[ashleyporter]

After nearly ten years, it's still painful watching Johnson struggle.

[adamharding]

Is there a more elegant and classy batsman than Andrew Strauss? His batting is so pleasing on the eye

[prabhjeetgill]

Unbelievable to think that Tim Paine played his first test in the 2009 series and wasn't selected again until this series.

[littleboy]

Andrew Strauss my favorite sportman. Nice and kind and good.

[shivamtiwari]

One of the best captains and opener of all time

[bigchukkers]

Is it just me or does the sound of his bat sound weird
