The 2011 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is likely to end up as well read and well thumbed as my 1982 edition. Why? Because it records in its usual wonderful detail the events of an awesome Ashes Series as England, glory be, won in style in Australia. * East Anglian Daily Times *

Wisden's appeal and gravitas comes wth that near-century and half's experience of reporting every game of note and chiselling its runs and wickets into the tombstone of history. * Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2011 (May 2011) *
