It's very painful to analyse right hand movements in detail, but obviously it's a combination of thumb and first two fingers. Not very helpful I know but if you can nail songs like Southbound / Setting Me Up and Walk Of Life then you're well on your way.
There would be no one 'correct' way, as with southbound you need to flick your two fingers backwards on the upstroke, but you also use your thumb occasionally too - at least I do, I think !!?!

Good luck mate!

Yeah, Fletch is right. You can learn single line solo note by note, you can learn the chords, you can pick out the general mood of a tune (if it was played on a different instrument), but when it comes to complex right hand movement, the only answer is

thanks all for your replay,
i took your advice and listened carefully at the strumming pattern over and over again (especially you Ingo...)
and i believe i got the general feel of the tune which seems to me like 5 x x 7 x 5 5 5...

thanks,
