Wisden Cricketers' Almanack by Graeme Wright

Wisden 2001 records a year when the scandal of match-fixing rocked cricket's very core: Mihir Bose, the Daily Telegraph's award-winning columnist, examines the naming and shaming of South Africa's captain, Hansie Cronje, by looking beyond the headlines to the cultural, economic and political interests in the power-struggle to control international cricket. Michael Henderson jumps into the "county v country" debate as he asks "Whose Game Is It Anyway?"; Scyld Berry wonders how non-English coaches get the best out of English cricketers; and Jonathan Rice reveals an off-beat Who's Who in Wisden.
New Zealander Graeme Wright edited Wisden from 1986 to 1992; The Times said that his final Editor's Notes "in parts resembled a valedictory v-sign to all within cricket he resents". His views on cricket today are keenly awaited.
