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

*Standard hardback edition*
The 160th edition of the most famous sports book in the world -
published every year since 1864 - contains some of the world's finest
sports writing. It reflects on the extraordinary life of Shane Warne,
who died far too early in 2022, and looks back at another legendary
bowler, S. F. Barnes, on the 150th anniversary of his birth. Wisden also
reports on England's triumph at the T20 World Cup, to go alongside their
2019 ODI success, and on their Test team's thrilling rejuvenation under
Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.
Writers include Lawrence Booth, Gideon Haigh, James Holland, Jonathan
Liew, Emma John, David Frith, Simon Wilde, Jon Hotten, Robert Winder,
Tanya Aldred and Neil Harvey, the last survivor from Australia's famous
1948 Ashes tour of England. As usual, Wisden includes the eagerly
awaited Notes by the Editor, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and the
obituaries. And, as ever, there are reports and scorecards for every
Test, together with forthright opinion, compelling features and
comprehensive records.
"There can't really be any doubt about the cricket book of the year, any
year: it's obviously Wisden" Andrew Baker in The Daily Telegraph
