Synopsis

With Tests and One Day Internationals now joined by Twenty20 games, there is more international cricket than ever before. These games captivate a television audience of tens of millions throughout the year and throughout the world. But how do you keep track of all the players? The Wisden Guide to International Cricket (formerly known as The ESPN Cricinfo Guide to International Cricket) is the answer. The 2011 edition of this already popular annual paperback will contain crisply written profiles of everyone expected to appear in a Test match in 2011. Published in November 2010, at the beginning of international cricket's busiest time of year, this is the only guide that tells you HOW they play as well as what they've achieved. The 200 players featured in the book all get full-page treatment, with a photograph alongside a career summary in words, facts and figures. And to back up the profiles, there are quick-fire records for every country, and up-to-date statistics from www.cricinfo.com, the world's biggest cricket website. The Wisden Guide to International Cricket is the essential companion for every cricket lover, and the ideal complement to the long-standing Spring bestsellers Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and Playfair.

Media Reviews
'An indispensable book for cricket enthusiasts, it is also excellent value for money.' www.jajeshkumarcricketstatistician.com ...the profiles are all well-written and informative, so if you've got a yearning for some player-based bedtime reading and the Missus won't let you take your laptop to bed any more, or if you have a serious aversion to the internet, this will get you up to speed. All Out Cricket (March 2011) 'It is, then, all things to all people. And thus to regard it as a mere book, filled with earnest writing and really quite awful black-and-white pictures, is to undersell its function grotesquely. There is still nothing quite like feeling a new copy of Wisden in your hands, its heft in yur palm, its pages pouring forth from a mere flick of your thumb. It is, and was no doubt intended to be, like holding the entire rich corpus of cricket in your hands' Cricketer, The. June 1, 2011 'The real joy pf hte Almanack is in its lush texture, the knowledge that you could never possible read it all. As ever, Wisden remains unmatched; indeed in many ways it is unmatchable. The fact that it exists at all in an age of 140-character novels and free newspapers, is something of a miracle.' Cricketer, The. June 1, 2011 'It is ironic, really, since Wisden's eclectic omniscience has always struck me as the closest mankind has come to reproducing the internet in a book.' Cricketer, The. June 1, 2011
