In January 2009, we started a new era; the Strauss era.   

After Kevin Pietersen resigned over the issue of the coaching staff (head coach Peter Moores also departing, leaving Zimbabwean batting coach Andy Flower to take over temporarily), Andrew Strauss (55 tests so far, age nearly 32) was appointed to take over. 

Coming up was the winter tour to West Indies. (In fact the second tour of the 2008-09 winter, following the 3-test tour of India under Pietersen, which was dramatic due in part to its on-off nature following the terrorist attacks on Mumbai earlier that month).

This seemed a suitable starting point.
