Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The decision to break with nearly a century and a half of tradition by putting a photograph on the cover of the 2003 Wisden--the 140th edition of the annual cricket almanack--deserves at least to alert the public to the fact that this is no longer the dusty, stats-obsessed tome of yesteryear, but one of the best reads in sport.

Just as Channel 4 have raised the bar for domestic TV coverage of the game, so recent Wisden editors have taken a neglected institution and turned it into something that will appeal to a readership far wider than just the professionals and collectors who, one suspects, for too many years have regarded purchasing each edition as a "death and taxes" moment--equally inevitable, and of equally scant appeal.

Yes, it's still one of the biggest small books around--jam-packed with results, reports, scorecards, averages and analysis covering the domestic county game, international one-day matches and Tests--with swathes of often tiny print, punctuated by hundreds of black-and-white photos extending to nearly 1800 pages.

But what could seem an unmappable mass of information has been sympathetically corralled, with the first of this year's new features, a Guide for New Readers, pointing you in the direction of the juicier stuff--essays such as Richie Benaud's Favourite Tests, profiles including Aussie legend Steve Waugh, Don't Marry a Cricketer by Derek Pringle, the story of England's Ashes capitulation, the year's best cricket books reviewed by Frank Keating and the key statistical records that underpin the game's history.

Wisden, we are told, is really four books in one: the essays, the pure stats reference work, the annual look at the previous season's play and a miscellany including obituaries, reviews and various articles. This much revered, but less-often read, treasury of cricket is almost too modest to mention that in each element it exemplifies excellence with the same combination of ruthless accuracy, creative flair and unquenchable enthusiasm that characterises the finest moments of the sport itself. --Alex Hankin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

The 140th edition of Wisden is the biggest and most up-to-date yet, with scores, pictures and comment from the 2003 World Cup as well as the Ashes and all the action from 2002, the year of Michael Vaughan. It is also the first Wisden under a one-off editor – Tim de Lisle, winner of an Editor of the Year award in 1999 for his work with Wisden Cricket Monthly, and founding editor of Wisden.com. New features include A Guide for New Readers and clearer signposting throughout the book; World View, a guide to the form of all the Test teams over the past 18 months; Wisden’s choice of player of the season at every county; and Arrivals & Departures, which sketches those taking or leaving the big stage, from James Anderson to Jonty Rhodes. The comment section has been expanded with more room for leading writers to tackle the big issues and the big players, including Simon Barnes on how Steve Waugh has changed the game, Rohit Brijnath on Tendulkar at 30 and Christopher Martin-Jenkins pleading for less international cricket. The Notes by the Editor, independent as ever, examine the Zimbabwe affair, the state of the World Cup, and a Test Championship which has "produced the wrong champion". In a year of untimely deaths, Wisden mourns Ben Hollioake and appraises Hansie Cronje. The 2003 Almanack offers more pictures, sharper statistics, more surprises and as much entertainment as ever, with Frank Keating on the year’s books, Richie Benaud on his favourite Tests, and Marcus Berkmann with a fan’s eye view of the World Cup. All this, and full coverage of an action-packed year, with England playing in seven countries, Vaughan becoming a star, Australia sweeping almost all before them, and cricket reaching new frontiers – including Antarctica, where Wisden records probably its first case of "Galloping elk stops play".
