Description
The Shorter Wisden is a compelling distillation of what's best in its bigger brother - and the 2021 edition of Wisden is crammed, as ever, with the best writing in the game. Wisden's digital version includes the influential Notes by the Editor, and all the front-of-book articles.
In an age of snap judgments, Wisden's authority and integrity are more important than ever. Yet again this year's edition is truly a "must-have" for every cricket fan. In essence, The Shorter Wisden is a glass of the finest champagne rather than the whole bottle.
