Strauss seeks one-day series win for England

ANDREW STRAUSS is confident his new-look England are about to go places in one-day cricket – and is hoping they can start by wrapping up their series against South Africa 3-1 today.

Strauss, who will collect his 100th cap if the rain stays away from Kingsmead, believes a more honest and well-rounded team is evolving under his captaincy and with Andy Flower as coach.

It was only at the start of this year that Strauss inherited the captaincy, later to learn it was his own permanently, after Kevin Pietersen had to forego the leadership.
