Now in its twenty-eighth edition, Jonathan Agnew's Cricket Year 2009 once again provides the first overview of the cricket season, both at home and abroad, in all its forms. It reports on England and English domestic cricket, as well as on every other Test-playing country, provides analysis of the main stories of the year and previews the season to come. The domestic season is covered in depth by Mark Baldwin, with sections dedicated to the LV County Championship, the Twenty20 Cup, the NatWest Pro40 League and the Friends Provident Trophy. Lavish in presentation, compelling in style and comprehensive in breadth, this year's much-anticipated annual contains stunning colour photography throughout and, as ever, includes reports from top professional cricket commentators around the world. With 2009 being such an important year for English cricket - English host both the Twenty20 World Cup and the Ashes this summer - interest in the game (already on the increase with the rise of the Twenty20 game) will be sky-high and media coverage will be greater than ever.
