It appeared as the story of the young star who played a key role in England's first Ashes win in 18 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe memoir follows Pietersen from his South African upbringing, through the opposition he met from his national cricket board, to his move to England and his years at Hampshire, and on to winning a place in the England team. The jacket carries praise from cricket commentators for his batting, confidence and influence on the England side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is a lively account of a South African-born player who made his name for England, and will interest collectors of cricket literature and of South African sporting biography. This copy carries a South African publisher's complimentary label, a nice point of local trade interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Kevin Pietersen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKevin Pietersen was born on 27 June 1980 in Pietermaritzburg, to an Afrikaner father and an English mother.
