Review

In these times of upheaval, when nothing seems certain anymore, how we need Wisden's reassuring presence. One imagines that even after a nuclear apocalypse it would continue to be publishing, compiling stats of indoor cricket matches played in bunkers, and considering the effect having six-and-a-half-billion fewer people on the planet will have on cricket's popularity * All Out Cricket * Wisden...it's the book that just keeps on giving back to the game * The Cricket Paper * Wisden today is in better shape than at any time in its long history * Times Literary Supplement * The book has become an institution * www.espncricinfo.com * The greatest and most diverse trove of cricket writing anywhere in the Western world * The Cricketer *
