As ever, the editor's notes open up an interesting selection of articles, presenting a straight bat to many of the game's most important issues. Matthew Engel does not shy from the heart of today's issues, tackling betting scandals, racial discrimination in the game, the role of the MCC and also looking forward to the 1999 World Cup to be played in England. Those following the editor in the batting order include Peter Roebuck (on Graeme Hick), Mihir Bose (on corruption in the game) and Mickey Stewart (on changing strategies in one day cricket). According to tradition, five cricketers of the year are honoured, and, perhaps surprisingly, two Englishmen are chosen. Few, though, could argue with the choice of the popular Darren Gough.
It will shock nobody that this edition stands comparison to its predecessors as the classic guide for followers of cricket. More than that, however, it also achieves the editor's aim, consisting of so much more than just a statistical compendium for the cricket fanatic. Wisden can now claim to provide a fascinating read for cricket followers of all shapes and sizes. --Trevor Crowe
