Young Wisden by Tim De Lisle
This second edition of Young Wisden brings the world of cricket to life for new and (slightly) older fans alike. Packed with hundreds of new photos of the stars in action and including a complete update of the stats, it is still the same intelligent, yet humourous, and vibrantly designed look at everything you need to know about the sport.
'For cricket neophytes both young and old, it's a good introduction to the game' * Stuart George Blog *
'This is an excellent introduction to the game for the aspiring fan, setting the modern game in its overall context' * The Cricket Statistician (June 2011) *
The liveliest book ever written about how cricket works, it's packed with facts and stats about players and matches, and features clear explanations of the game; Quick guides to cricket's language and history; The game at home and around the world; County Cricket, Tests, Twenty20s and one-day internationals and Stores of the stars from Bradman to Broad. * The Cricket Statistician (June 2011) *
'Marvellously illustrated, it conveys the game's past and present expertly. More importantly, it conveys the warmth and wonder of the greatest of games.' * gazetteseries.co.uk (July 2011) *
