*Soft cover edition* The 16th edition of the most famous sports book in the world – published every year since 1864 – contains some of the world's finest sports writing. It reflects on the extraordinary life of Shane Warne, who died far too early in 222, and looks back at another legendary bowler, S. F. Barnes, on the 15th anniversary of his birth. Wisden also reports on England's triumph at the T2 World Cup, to go alongside their 219 ODI success, and on their Test team's 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 Australia's 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
