Wisden Cricket Monthly | Issue 85
We have something a little bit special in the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out February 27, as we reveal our countdown of the 100 hundreds that changed the game, and a few that changed the world...
A selection of the game’s best writers tell the stories behind a century of centuries spanning more than 250 years which left an indelible mark on an ever-evolving sport and, in some instances, sparked social or political change.
Elsewhere in the magazine, Brydon Carse talks to Jo Harman about the ban which led to his emergence as a leading figure for England, Temba Bavuma opens up to Mel Farrell about his incredible personal journey and South Africa’s run to the World Test Championship final, and Katya Witney explores the challenges of being both a mother and professional cricketer.
In a jam-packed issue which also includes a beautifully designed wallchart with all the fixtures for the 2025 English season, Adam Hollioake tells Sam Dalling why he couldn’t resist his new role at Kent, Graham Onions reflects on his wicket-laden career, and we unpick England’s miserable Women’s Ashes series in Australia.
As for our columnists, Lawrence Booth analyses the eye-popping Hundred auction, Andrew Miller says the SA20 has been an unexpected winter highlight, and guest writer Nathan Johns sets out his vision for a more inclusive World Test Championship.
