Steve James
From English cricket's embarrassing failure at the 2015 World Cup to their heart-stopping victory four years later, Nick Hoult and Steve James vividly describe the team's dramatic journey from abject disappointment to finally lifting the trophy. Morgan's Men reveals how the team became the most aggressive limited-overs side in the world, led by their inspirational captain Eoin Morgan, whose vision and determination to succeed captured the imagination of the nation. Hoult and James follow England's journey from Bangladesh to Barbados, from Melbourne to Manchester, to present the inside story of the team's rebirth. They tell us how players dealt with the Ben Stokes court case, the sacking of Alex Hales for a drugs ban, and reveal the innovative new strategies and tactics that helped them become the best in the world, culminating in a World Cup final that was arguably the greatest one-day match of all time.

It skips back and forward, recalling the same incidents multiple times. We hear about the World T20 defeat more than once. Anderson and Broad being discarded more than once. Stokes’ court case is near the front, rather than the back. It’s all out of order, with no particular drive to the narrative.
People will know how the Super Over ends - but the first time it’s mentioned here is rather randomly in a throwaway line about a university study during chapter four (labelled chapter five). That’s supposed to be the end of the book.
Rather than telling a cohesive story from 2015 to 2019, it jumps around for no clear reason.
The book does settle once the tournament begins. Each England match gets its own chapter, with a player generally receiving individual focus. This part of the book is a vast improvement, although there are still jarring jumps forward at times.
As for the narration, the Irish, Australian and New Zealand accent attempts are unwise, although it’s broadly OK other than that. Someone should’ve pointed out in the read that Carlos Brathwaite isn’t pronounced “Braithwaite”. Because of the rollercoaster timeline, he pops up a few times. Not sure Ricky Ponting is commonly called “Rick” either.
This could have been really exceptional - and all the components are hidden away within the text - but it falls flat because of a lack of discipline in the telling of the story. It’s all a bit of a shame.
Out of order, with a mixed narrative
