The most famous sports book in the world, Wisden has been published every year since 1864. Wisden 2009, the 146th edition, contains coverage of every first-class game in every cricket nation, and reports on all Test matches and limited-overs internationals, including the burgeoning world of Twenty20 cricket. Trenchant opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records make it the cricketers’ bible worldwide.
The 146th edition of Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack recounts a year when cricket was turned on its head. The Twenty20 revolution threatened the established order, as the IPL exploded onto the scene with the Stanford $20 million match muscling in later on. Meanwhile England managed to lose three captains and a coach within six months. And as the next Ashes series looms, both England and Australia lost consecutive Test series away to India and home to South Africa.
In such hectic times the cricket-lover—more than ever—needs Wisden to make sense of it all. As usual it offers insight, inside information and a little contemplative calm.
