MEDIA REVIEWS

'Overall, Wisden succeeds again in meeting its challenge, recording meticulously and comprehensively while finding time to breathe and reflect.' - Richard Hobson, The Cricketer

'It is a book of three parts: comment; record; and delightful minutiae, which always brings the most cheer.' - Mike Atherton, The Times

'The joys of the Almanack are the joys of cricket. Its landscape is vast, its minutia endlessly explorable. It is somewhere to escape to.' - Jon Hotten, Wisden Cricket Monthly
