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 Cricinfo Guide to International Cricket is the answer. The 2009 edition of this already popular annual paperback will contain crisply-written profiles of everyone expected to appear in a Test match in 2009. Published in November 2008, 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 Cricinfo Guide to International Cricket is the essential companion for every cricket lover, and the ideal complement to the long-standing Spring bestsellers Wisden and Playfair.
