This cricketer's almanack, published every year since 1864, is timed to coincide with the start of the English cricket season. It contains statistics from the previous domestic season, plus full scorecards of every Test Match played around the world during the year, and coverage of cricket in 40 different countries, plus reports of bizarre cricketing events from Kennington to Korea. The editor provides observations about the management, media coverage and commercialism of cricket.
