The 160th edition of Wisden, the most famous sports book in the world, has been published every year since 1864. This year's edition, released in soft cover, contains some of the finest sports writing in the world, reflecting on the extraordinary life of Shane Warne, who died far too early in 2022, and looking back at another legendary bowler, S. F. Barnes, on the 150th anniversary of his birth. Wisden also reports on England's triumph at the T20 World Cup, to go alongside their 2019 ODI success, and on their Test teams thrilling rejuvenation under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.

Writers include Lawrence Booth, Gideon Haigh, James Holland, Jonathan Liew, Emma John, David Frith, Simon Wilde, Jon Hotten, Robert Winder, Tanya Aldred, and Neil Harvey, the last survivor from Australias famous 1948 Ashes tour of England. As usual, Wisden includes the eagerly awaited Notes by the Editor, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and the obituaries. And, as ever, there are reports and scorecards for every Test, together with forthright opinion, compelling features, and comprehensive records.

There can't really be any doubt about the cricket book of the year, any year: it's obviously Wisden. Andrew Baker in The Daily Telegraph@WisdenAlmanack
