That obviously depends a lot on where your playing. Last I checked the bowlers dont go so well in the sub continent or in Australia for that matter (and dont go bringing up the last ashes cause we cant bat or bowl atm
)
I just think specifically for England your risk v. reward makes playing Sehwag a better option even out of form. I'm not even saying Strauss is bad, but you have a lot guys like him and not many out and out match winners. Sehwag in for Strauss would balance your batting order perfectly.
I guess other way you could look at it is that if Australia were playing the next test in England I think Strauss would be a much better fit for the reason that our batting consists of Shane Watson so we really need to keep wickets in hand and not risk a collapse (but im getting carried away here)
