In November 2010, Andrew Strauss faced the ultimate challenge for
an England cricket captain: winning the Ashes on Australian soil, a
feat that had not been achieved for 24 years. By the end of a
series that gripped the nation, he had led his team to an
overwhelming victory--inflicting an unprecedented three innings
defeats on the old enemy. Winning the Ashes Down Under is the
captain's story of a tour that exceeded all expectations. It not
only reveals what went on behind the scenes as Andrew Strauss and
coach Andy Flower put together their team of winners, but also
paints a very personal picture of day-to-day life on tour. It is an
inspiring tale of how hostile conditions, injury, and intimidating
reputations were overcome by leadership, planning, a slice of good
fortune--and extraordinary performances from the likes of Alastair
Cook and Jonathan Trott with the bat, and James Anderson and Chris
Tremlett with the ball. Ranging from reverse swing to the sprinkler
dance, from referrals to sledging, from despair at Perth to triumph
at Sydney, this is the definitive account of a series that will
live long in the memory.
