Home to some of the finest sports writing of the year--from the likes of Lawrence Booth, Gideon Haigh, Rob Smyth, Patrick Collins, Simon Wilde, Osman Samiuddin, Tony Cozier, Benj Moorehead, Raf Nicholson and Dileep Premachandran--it includes the eagerly awaited Notes by the Editor, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and the famous obituaries. As always, it contains coverage of every first-class game in every cricket nation, and reports and scorecards for all Tests and ODIs, together with trenchant opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records. <p/>This year's edition--the 157th, <i>Wisden 2020--</i>is truly a "must-have" for every cricket fan. <p/><b>There can't really be any doubt about the cricket book of the year, any year: it's obviously <i>Wisden</i> </b>Andrew Baker in the <i>Daily Telegraph</i> <p/>@WisdenAlmanack</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"There are treasures galore to be discovered, all meticulously gathered and utterly trustworthy except on pages 1500-1508, which are devoted to the 2020 fixture list." --<i>The Guardian</i> <p/>"But the undoubted highlight of the week has been the arrival of this year's Wisden Almanack. I haven't had time to do more than dip in so far ... but the new Wisden is always a sure sign of the start of summer. Though what kind of summer it will be is still in the lap of the coronavirus." --<i>The Guardian</i> <p/>"Wisden was published on a hot sunny day last week, and it will be a pleasure to treasure while the sporting world remains in hibernation. There are 1,500 pages between the daffodil yellow covers, but never has the size felt less daunting." --<i>Sunday Express</i> <p/>"Overall, Wisden succeeds again in meeting its challenge, recording meticulously and comprehensively while finding time to breathe and reflect." --<i>The Cricketer</i> <p/>"The 157th edition of the game's bible is as bulky as ever: 1,536 pages squeezed between the familiar yellow covers and packed with statistics, scorecards, match reports and titbits that will reassure fans that there are some things that even Covid-19 cannot destroy." --<i>The Financial Times</i> <p/>"It is a book of three parts: comment; record; and delightful minutiae, which always brings the most cheer." --<i>The Times</i> <p/>"The joys of the Almanack are the joys of cricket. Its landscape is vast, its minutia endlessly explorable. It is somewhere to escape to." --<i>Wisden Cricket Monthly</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>This is <b>Lawrence Booth</b>'s ninth year as Editor of <i>Wisden.</i> He is one of the most respected and well liked authorities in the modern game. @the_topspin
