Critic Reviews
It is a book of three parts: comment; record; and delightful minutiae, which always brings the most cheer. -- Mike Atherton The Times
The publication of Wisden is cricket’s equivalent of the state opening of Parliament. It’s another great edition. Oborne and Heller on Cricket podcast
The pages are stacked full of information, quirks and great analysis of the game, as well as being a wonderful record. -- Alison Mitchell BBC World Service Stumped
The big yellow book. The important one. The one aliens will be reading in hundreds of years’ time when we as a species have wiped ourselves out and they’ve come down to work out how cricket worked. The Final Word podcast
About the Author
This is Lawrence Booth's fourteenth year as Editor of Wisden. He is one of the most respected and well liked authorities in the modern game. @BoothCricket
