The Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack 2006

By Will 2 years ago, mid-April Leave a comment on this post

Wisden Cricketers' AlmanackThe Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack 2006 launches tomorrow. I caught up with the editor, Matthew Engel, and you can read my mumblings at Cricinfo. We can also exclusively reveal the five Cricketers of the Year:

Andrew Flintoff was named Leading Cricketer in the World for 2005.

It’s also an exciting time for Cricinfo. After nearly four years of work, involving countless people, we have launched the Almanack online. This means you can search for any Wisden match report, article or obituary from 1864 - 2006! Pretty cool we hope you agree.

    Don’t be modest, Will, mention the fact that this blog gets in Wisden!

    Perhaps you are wise beyond your years, Will, but I came here hoping to read your take on the Frindall-Engel spat on statistics… I think I’m on Engel’s side, but I’m open to persuasion…

    As an old cogder (57 later this week :( - I share my birthday with IIRC the only Nobel Prize Winner for Literature to play first-class cricket, thought you all needed to know that :)) I am more amused than anything else by the fact that, once again, cricket is run by people who put non-cricketing considerations before cricketing ones: I don’t see that the ICC’s money-worship is any improvement on the old days when MCC seemed first and foremost to be an organisation primarily dedicated to maintaining the English class system…

    Ah, Mr Samuel Beckett that’ll be, Innocent?

    As for the spat, I’ve only briefly read Frindall’s comments. Not at work so I’ll post thoughts on it tomorrow or later in the week
