Andrew Strauss was a cricketer and a batsman who achieved most of his success on the pitch by playing a straight bat to everything that was bowled at him.
This book, his autobiography, uses much the same tactic.
If this tactic worked well for him on pitches from Lords to Lahore, and Durham to Delhi, I’m not sure it’s quite so effective in bringing alive a cricketing career which in fact spanned a very exciting and successful period for English cricket.

You'd hope light would be shed on the backroom staff and possibly private matters of the bygone era but they've remained as mysterious and untouched as they ever were. Strauss keeps his friends close and enemies closer in this book; very much an unbiased, likeable book, much like the author.
Nothing much to report really. Didn't tell me a great deal that I did not already know. Also it wasn't that insightful on captaincy. Doesn't take long to read though. As I said not much to report.
He comes across ass a very likeable man but you won't learn anything new from reading this.
