The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack was first published in 1864 and has appeared every year since. The first edition cost one shilling and ran to 112 pages. This 144th edition contains an impressive 1664 pages (including 16 colour plates) and, as usual, is bursting with all sorts of cricketing facts, figures, stats and compelling features. It is in fact the most famous sports book in the world.
Wisden 2007 contains coverage of every first-class match played in every cricket nation in the world, as well as reports and scorecards for all Tests and ODIs, including the recent Ashes Series in Australia.
