Melbourne, Jan. 16 : Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has said that he is clueless about his England counterpart Andrew Strauss' captaincy style ahead of The Ashes.

Ponting also said that he was stunned by Kevin Pietersen's exit as England captain and Peter Moores' departure as head coach.

The Sun quoted Ponting as saying: "I am surprised by what's happened over there. Really surprised. I don't know anything about Strauss. I don't know what he will be like as far as his leadership skills are concerned. He must have something about him." (ANI)
