Defeat in a home series at the hands of a mediocre New Zealand team saw them fall to the bottom of the world Test rankings below even Zimbabwe. Yet only just over a decade later England had reached the top. It has been a remarkable & profound transformation brought about largely by two men with an insatiable desire to succeed Duncan Fletcher & Andy Flower. In The Plan" Steve James tells the story of the renaissance of English cricket from a unique perspective. As the former batting partner of ECB managing director Hugh Morris a player under Fletcher at Glamorgan & Flowers closest confidant in the press corps James is able to both relate & analyse the reasons behind the rise.

It is the story of how English steel has been melded with African fire to create the most potent combination in world cricket." ...
