Andrew Strauss is a fluent left-handed opening batsman, who plays cricket for Middlesex and England.  He made his test match debut at Lord's against New Zealand in 2004, becoming only the fourth batsman to score a century at Lord's on his debut.

After deputising for Michael Vaughan as England captain in 2006, Strauss was appointed permanent captain for the 2009 tour of the West Indies. He enjoyed success with three centuries, and retained the captaincy for England’s 2–1 victory in the 2009 Ashes, scoring a series total of 474 runs.

The Art of Cricket of Cricket 2010 Year Book is signed by both Andrew Strauss and the author, cricket artist Christina Pierce. The embossed hardback desk diary combines a beautifully produced series of paintings with information on cricket.

Each illustration sits opposite a two weeks to a page diary, with alternate double page spread pictures, punctuated by photographs by Christopher Bishop.  Information on cricket grounds and cricket development from eighteen major counties, ladies’ cricket, ECB, PCA, MCC, Bunbury CC and Barmy Army is listed at the front of the book.

"There are so many interesting things to see and it is the ones around the edges which often interest me as much as the big events, like the eccentricities of the umpires and the old boys selling the score cards" says Christina.

The Art of Cricket yearbook is beautifully produced and is a delight as each picture touches the senses and says everything about the game we love.
