Book Description
The world’s most famous sports book emerges for the 142nd time in sprightly mood.
The world’s most famous sports book emerges for the 142nd time in sprightly mood.
It is more up-to-date than at any time in history, with full reports of England’s astonishing winning sequence that took them from Jamaica to Johannesburg – and a dozen Test victories – in just ten months. It has more feature articles than ever before. And it is the essential souvenir for England supporters who want the glow of the team’s wonderful year to linger forever.
Cricket’s top writers are in Wisden 2005: Richie Benaud, Mike Selvey, Angus Fraser, Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Alan Lee, Vic Marks, David Frith, Scyld Berry and Tony Cozier; and keeping them company is Wisden’s editor, Matthew Engel, who will open the batting with his trenchant Notes.
There are full reports of an amazing cricketing year: the world records for Brian Lara, Murali and Shane Warne, and the rows over chucking, Zimbabwe and Sky. And Wisden tells the story of the big new betting craze, the inside story from a Test match dressing-room and the why village cricket is splitting in two.
But this is also a global book. Wisden explains how the mighty confusion of Indian TV bankrolls the game. One great Australian, Richie Benaud, pays homage to another, Keith Miller. It reports on South Africans’ lingering love affair with Hansie Cronje and, from Sri Lanka, how cricket rose to the challenge of the terrible tsunami.
As ever, Wisden also has its own secrets to reveal. Who will be the Five Cricketers of the Year? And who was the Leading Cricketer in the World in 2004?
Oh, and there’s the brothel that caters solely for professional cricketers, an interview with cricket’s most famous Slovak goalkeeper, the ground where it hasn’t rained in 15 years….
