The launch of Wisden used to be the sign that the season is around the corner. Now it has become a welcome reminder that it has already started. Either way the advent of Wisden is a source of delight for cricket lovers and the 2019 edition, edited once again by Lawrence Booth, does not disappoint.
Writing for Wisden is a more intimidating prospect than the daily grind. The words of wisdom that adorn our back pages or websites each day do not last for long but articles in Wisden have a hint of immortality. They may lie dormant on dusty shelves inside the yellow cover for years only for the relevant edition to be plucked out as a venerable historical source. Or so the editor hopes.
