It is he who decides the policy of the Cricketers' Bible and cricketers the world over look to him to give a lead on all controversial problems. His is, therefore, no easy task, but Wisden has been fortunate in its editors. That was written in 1933, and it is still true. <p/>The heart of the Almanack is the section entitled <i>Notes By The Editor.</i> The editor's opinions can change careers, laws--indeed every part of the game. This anthology is a brief dip into the half a million words or so that make up the annual <i>Notes </i>as the editors take a view of what really matters--the spirit in which cricket is played and how to keep it relevant and popular. And, of course, the weather. <p/>Throughout the <i>Notes </i>the Editors retain their sense of optimism and fervent love of the game, even when dealing with difficult issues such as bodyline or match-fixing, and they express their views succinctly and stylishly. As John Woodcock wrote in 1983, 'the game is never quite the same from one season to the next' and nor, indeed, are the <i>Notes. </i>However, as this anthology shows, the <i>Notes </i>are always stimulating and firmly expressed, providing an important insight into the cricket of the day.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jonathan Rice is a writer and compiler of many cricket books, including <i>Cricket's Finest Painting: Kent v Lancashire 1906</i>, <i>The Wisden Collector's Guide</i>, <i>Wisden on India </i>and <i>Wisden on Grace. </i>He is chairman of the County Cricket Heritage Forum, was chairman of the Lord's Taverners from 2006 to 2008, and president of Kent County Cricket Club in 2018.
