The publication of Wisden is cricket’s equivalent of the state opening of Parliament. It’s another great edition.
The pages are stacked full of information, quirks and great analysis of the game, as well as being a wonderful record.
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.
This is Lawrence Booth's thirteenth year as Editor of Wisden. He is one of the most respected and well liked authorities in the modern game. @BoothCricket
