  Wisden 2001 records a year when the scandal of match-fixing rocked cricket's very core: Mihir Bose, the Daily Telegraph's award-winning columnist, examines the naming and shaming of South Africa's captain, Hansie Cronje, by looking beyond the headlines to the cultural, economic and political interests in the power-struggle to control international cricket. Michael Henderson jumps into the county v country debate as he asks Whose Game Is It Anyway? ; Scyld Berry wonders how non-English coaches get the best out of English cricketers; and Jonathan Rice reveals an off-beat Who's Who in Wisden.

  The 138th edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is edited by Graeme Wright, the first editor to return to the seat (he previously edited Wisden from 1978-1992). Wisden 2001 reflects on A Game in Shame following scandalous match-fixing revelations of the previous year. Wisden 2001 also features tributes to Colin Cowdrey who died in 2000, while Mike Atherton and Vic Marks salute Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walh on their retirement from Test cricket.
