WISDEN comes to life as we relive the finest, the strangest and the most dramatic moments of cricketing history in this entertaining portrait of the English game.
Travel around the world in the company of some of cricket’s most notable personalities, from Australia to Trinidad and the Antarctic to Cambodia, as they witness both triumph and disaster during the game’s unpredictable adventures abroad. We join a cricket match in a Japanese POW camp, we are with Don Bradman as England’s bowlers adopt the ‘fast leg theory’ of bowling and we celebrate Garfield Sobers as he surpasses Hutton’s record test innings, and then there is the English wicket-keeper who gets arrested in Australia.
“These three titles are fascinating for anyone with a mild interest in the game.” The Guardian
“These compilations from the great cricket reference book Wisden will ease the drive home from sodden cricket grounds.” Radio Times
