Klappentext

Large-format hardback edition

The most famous sports book in the world, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack has been published every year since 1864.

In this 163rd edition, Tanya Aldred looks at cricket's historic links with the mining community and Harry Pearson goes on a nostalgic journey around the vanished grounds of the county game. As tension between India and Pakistan reached breaking point, threatening the equilibrium of the global game, Gideon Haigh delves into a long and complex relationship. Osman Samiuddin reports on the headlong fall of Imran Khan, while Derek Pringle remembers Dickie Bird.

As usual, Wisden includes the eagerly awaited 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
