商品描述内容简介When Andrew Strauss hit 177 against New Zealand in March 2008, it was clear that one of the great batting talents of English cricket had returned to form. This scintillating performance swept away the difficulties of the months since his last Test century, and re-established Strauss as the first choice opener. Here is the story of Strauss' return to the England Test squad, his appointment as captain, and the build up to the long-waited return of Australia to English soil for the 2009 Ashes. In his own words, Strauss explores the highs and lows of his recent career, on and off the field. As one of the most-respected players in world cricket and the widely respected captain of the England team, Strauss reveals his thoughts on the issues that shape world cricket today, such as the increasing influence of India on the world game, the rise of Twenty20, the continuing question of Zimbabwe, sledging, and the growing pressures of the media. "Testing Times" is a revealing depiction of a thoughtful cricketer with much to say.
