Description
*Standard hardback edition*
The most famous sports book in the world, Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack has been published every year since 1864.
Home to some of the finest sports writing of the year, in this edition: Gideon Haigh reflects on the latest Australia v India series, Scyld Berry pays tribute to James Anderson, following his retirement, and Derek Underwood and Graham Thorpe are remembered by Mike Brearley and Alec Stewart – their former Test captains and friends. Wisden also considers cricket’s deepening reliance on artificial intelligence, and whether the game can ever thrive in the USA.
As usual, Wisden includes the thought-provoking Notes by the Editor, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and the authoritative obituaries. There are reports and scorecards for every Test, together with forthright opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records.
"There can't really be any doubt about the cricket book of the year, any year: it's obviously Wisden." Andrew Baker, The Daily Telegraph

Media 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 *
