The most famous sports book in the world, Wisden has been published every year since 1864. This 150th edition covers every first-class game in every cricket nation, and reports and scorecards for all Tests and ODIs. Trenchant opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records make it the cricketers' bible worldwide.
This is Lawrence Booth's second year as Editor of Wisden. He is also cricket writer for the Daily Mail and author of several critically acclaimed cricket books. He is one of the most respected and well liked authorities in the modern game.
As comprehensive and opinionated as ever.
*Independent on Sunday*
Wisden-omaniacs measure out their life in Test matches and sodden
trips to county grounds, and the book becomes a form of
autobiography. It captures a world in a single, squat volume, and
for a moment allows us to forget that time must move on.
*Observer*
Part of the establishment, yet prepared to challenge the
establishment, Wisden has earned the respect and affection of every
serious sports fan. In its 150th year, that iconic yellow jacket
still marks a fixed point in a disorderly world.
*Daily Telegraph*
After 150 editions, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack shows little sign
of leaving the crease. The daddy reigns supreme.
*The Times*
The modern Wisden is a marvel of accuracy and inclusiveness
*The Times*
Nothing beats the reassuring thud on the doormat in April when
Wisden lands, as a harbinger of the season to come and a reminder
of seasons gone.
*The Times*
Each Wisden, once acquired, is not just for a season, it is for
life, a treasure to be used as research, diversion or, in its
nicely fading yellow jacket, pure decoration.
*The Times*
A truly unique sporting institution
*Financial Times*
A shelf-full of Wisdens is a sign of civilisation and a curious
mind.
*The Times*
The 150th Wisden is a wonderful read... a treasure trove of superb
writing
*Sunday Express*
Wisden allows me to dream
*New Statesman*
Worthy of a place on every sport lover's bookcase
*The Pink (Bournemouth)*
Vital if you're the kind of person who leaps from their chair at
the dinner table and marches into the next room demanding to
clarify what year Graham Gooch finally dropped David Gower.
*Saga*
More reliable than a swallow, the sight of a new Wisden on the
shelves is proof summer is here.
*Living North*
A 150-year-old book that draws in the profound and the absurd as
well as the venerable and the modern, the meaningful and the
inconsequential. It asks few favours. In words and numbers Wisden
intelligently records cricket as it has been and as it is.
*The Cricketer*
The charm is in the incidental detail.
*TLS*
It's wonderful to delve into.
*Daily Express*
So encyclopedic is the Wisden annual's coverage of each season that
every type of cricketer, from IPL millionaire star to trundler to
abysmally bad author, can be found somewhere in its pages.
*Oldie*
The sport's leading chronicle
*International New York Times*
