What They're Saying

Critics Review

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 *
