Wisden Cricket Monthly | Issue 93
The new issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out December 18, unravels a whirlwind start to the Ashes that left Ben Stokes' side on the brink of a chastening series defeat.
With England's approach in the spotlight, Andrew Miller delivers Bazball's last rites and Scott Anthony examines the psychology behind a philosophy that has divided opinion from the outset.
We have Matt Roller reporting from Perth, a Test match years in the making which was over in the blink of an eye, Lawrence Booth hails the brilliance of Mitchell Starc in his role as Australia's leading man, John Stern traces the inglorious history of the Ashes war of words, and, to cheer up disheartened England fans, Ben Gardner ranks Joe Root's 40 Test hundreds after his ton at the Gabba.
Elsewhere, we have pieces celebrating the life of Robin Smith from Jon Hotten and Angus Fraser, who describes his former teammate as a "magnificent player and complicated man", Jo Harman-McGowan examines what's gone wrong for India after their whitewash on home soil to South Africa, and Abhishek Mukherjee speaks to Shafali Verma, the star of the Women's World Cup final.
We also have exclusive interviews with Chris Woakes and Simon Harmer, Rob Smyth profiles the forgotten Aussie tearaway who had Viv hopping, and Jeff Thomas explores the revival of cricket in Wales following Glamorgan's long-awaited promotion.
