The 159th edition of the most famous sports book in the world published every year since 1864 contains some of the finest sports writing of the year and covers reports and scorecards for all Tests, one-day and Twenty20 internationals, making it the cricketers' bible worldwide.
The publication of Wisden is cricket’s equivalent of the state opening of ParliamentIt’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 World Service Stumped *
The famous yellow book has never been afraid to hold up an unflattering mirror to its subject but, even by its own standards, the 159th edition represents a searing state of the nation address. * Press Association *
Wisden coming out once a year feels like a cricketer’s Christmas. In an ever-digitised world, to have an actual book in front of us is a good thing. * TalkSPORT *
The Almanack is pulling cricket towards the outside world: themes of racism, sexism, intolerance and conflict, it says, are global and not local. They concern “common humanity” and how it might want to proceed, within cricket and without. * Wisden Cricket Monthly *
It’s not just the statistics and match reports – it’s another towering achievement. -- Daniel Norcross * BBC Test Match Special *
The big yellow book. The important one. The one aliens will be reading in hundreds of years’ time when we as a species have wiped ourselves out and they’ve come down to work out how cricket worked. * The Final Word podcast *
This is Lawrence Booth's eleventh year as Editor of Wisden. He is one of the most respected and well liked authorities in the modern game. @the_topspin
