Wisden Cricket Monthly  |  January 2019
England's Jos Buttler is this month's cover star as we reveal our inaugural teams of the year - men's Test, ODI and T20 XIs and a combined women's side - picked by an expert panel of writers and broadcasters .
One of the stars of 2018 was Jason Holder - in an exclusive interview, the Windies' skipper speaks candidly about fronting up and thriving in the toughest job in cricket.
Elsewhere we speak to Jack Leach as part of a feature on the curiosities of being an English spinner, Jonathan Liew reflects on England all-rounders past and present, and Mel Jones looks back at hits and misses of the recently completed Women's World T20.
New this month, we've got our take on the Guardian’s ‘Secret Footballer’ series as a county cricketer reports from inside the dressing room and Derek Pringle describes his ‘Perfect Day at the Cricket’.
And to make sure you've got something to keep you entertained over the festive period, there's a big fat quiz with big fat prizes!
