"Testing Times" is the 2009 Ashes-winning captain's personal
account of a remarkable two-year period in world cricket. When
Strauss went out for his second innings in the Napier Test of March
2008, everyone thought--including the man himself--he was one false
stroke from the end of his England career. With extracts from his
diary Strauss gives a unique insight into the torment which many
Test cricketers go through. Taking the reader behind the scenes,
Strauss describes his momentous experiences, such as Kevin
Pietersen's captaincy, the dramatic events of the Stanford Twenty20
series, the shocking terrorist attack in Mumbai, his feat of
becoming the first England batsman to hit two centuries in a Test
in Asia, his sudden appointment as England captain, and his team
being dismissed for 51 in his first Test. Both revealing and
forthright, "Testing Times "captures all the excitement of the 2009
Ashes triumph in which his magnificent batting and calm leadership
played such a role: the agonizing last day at Cardiff, England's
first Ashes victory at Lord's for 75 years, the horrors of
Headingley, and finally the joy at the Oval of regaining the Ashes.
