Welcome to The Periodic Table of Cricket. Here you'll find the
essential elements - batsmen and bowlers past and present - that
have left a lasting legacy on this great sport. As with chemical
elements, these international personalities have been arranged
based on their characteristics in and out of play. Instead of
metals and non-metals, here we have patient and determined
defensive players, from Jack Hobbs to Hanif Mohammad and Alastair
Cook transitioning to fast-paced and attacking players including
Shane Warne, Fred Trueman and 'white lightning' Allan Donald with a
whole host of others in between. See how the best international
players stack up against each other in this original guide to
cricket.
The 150 editions of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack have contained a
total of more than 133,000 pages since the first edition was
published in 1864. Over the years the Almanack - published every
year without fail - has charted the highs and lows of the game,
giving its authoritative opinion on the players, the matches and
the pressing issues of the day. The Essential Wisden provides the
highlights of all 150 years for the first time. From the forthright
Editor's Notes by the likes of Sydney Pardon, Norman Preston, John
Woodcock and Matthew Engel, through reports on key matches around
the world, and features on the game's top players, to the renowned
obituaries of people in and around the game, and a range of
cricket's idiosyncratic "Unusual Occurrences", John Stern and
Marcus Williams distil the Almanack's most significant and
fascinating writing into one anthology. With the pick of a century
and a half of the best cricket writing from leading writers on the
game, including John Arlott, Mike Atherton, Neville Cardus, Gideon
Haigh, Christopher Martin-Jenkins and E. W. Swanton, and famous
players such as Don Bradman, Denis Compton, Learie Constantine,
Fred Spofforth, Mike Brearley and Michael Vaughan, The Essential
Wisden provides a fascinating lens through which to view the
evolution of the game.
