EP6 - Sir Andrew Strauss on Trust

Andrew is amongst the most successful and lauded England cricket captains of all time, and one of only three men to lead his country to Ashes Test series wins both home, and away. From a starting position of some disarray, his ability to engender trust and confidence in his England team led them all the way to the world number one ranking. The trust in his technique and ability saw him play 100 Test matches, and amass more than 7000 Test runs with a batting average of more than 40, including 21 centuries. His spell as captain coincided with the managerial stint of Andy Flower, and together they forged a crucial bond of trust in each other, and transformed a disparate band of cricketers into a team of world beaters. In the latter part of his career, his trust in the players was put to the ultimate test by Kevin Pietersen. .........................................
