Wisden Cricket Monthly | Issue 99
In the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out July 23, Lawrence Booth gives the inside story of Bazball's implosion, which ended in the departures of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum in the space of a fortnight.
Following Stokes' dramatic retirement at Trent Bridge, David Hopps gives a brief history of the painful exits experienced by England Test captains, while Phil Walker argues that Harry Brook, the outlandish everyman, is primed to replace him.
In the wake of a turbulent month, Daniel Norcross takes us behind the Test Match Special curtain to reveal how events unfolded at Nottingham, Andrew Miller gives his appraisal of McCullum's rollercoaster tenure as Test coach, and we consider which all-rounders are in contention to replace Stokes in England's Test XI.
Elsewhere, Jo Harman-McGowan reports on what's shaping up to be the tightest County Championship title race in living memory, we pick out the 20 best value-for-money signings in The Hundred, and Will Jacks reflects on his surprise call-up for the Ashes.
We review England Women's T20 World Cup campaign, featuring a diary from Danni Wyatt-Hodge, the tournament's leading run-scorer, and we have news from all the counties, with Raf Nicholson giving the inside track on the women's domestic game.
There's also a candid interview with Essex's champion spinner Simon Harmer, who talks us through the sharp turns and big breaks in his wicket-laden career.
