The Test

Rezensionen / Stimmen

I can't think of an England player that every supporter and player would have loved to see more with the three lions on his chest. Simon was right up there with the best that I was fortunate enough to captain. -- Michael Vaughan What a player, what a man. Simon was the unsung hero in the 2005 Ashes. His crucial wickets and aggression took us over the winning line. -- Kevin Pietersen Simon Jones only played eighteen Test matches, but to me and most England fans he will always be a legend. His bowling during the 2005 series, against the best Australian team in history, was simply magnificent: fast, furious, swinging both ways like a deranged boomerang, and devastatingly successful. A class act. -- Piers Morgan Profoundly moving -- Tom Holland * Daily Telegraph * Exceptional... reminiscent of a mud-and-grit David Peace novel. -- David Hamilton * The Wisden Review * [A] brutally honest rollercoaster of an autobiography * Western Morning News * Numerous of the protagonists who took part in the 2005 Ashes have written books - but nothing half as gripping or revelatory as Simon Jones's account -- Tom Holland * Independent * It is one of the most striking cricket autobiographies of recent times -- Richard Whitehead * Cricketer * The Test is one of the best [books] you are ever likely to read about that landmark series, or indeed any series... an essential read for all cricket fans * Choice Magazine * An absolutely cracking read, brutally honest, visceral, edge-of-the-seat stuff -- five stars * Cricketer *
