Strydom, one of four brothers to play first-class cricket, was a middle-order batsman and occasional medium-pace bowler.[1] He had one outstanding match, for Orange Free State against Transvaal B in 1965–66, when he scored 97 in the first innings and 234 when Orange Free State followed on. On the second day he scored 97 and 120 not out. The match ended in a draw.[2] He was chosen as one of the South African Cricket Annual Cricketers of the Year in 1966.[3]
