Wisden Cricket Monthly | Issue 101
In the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out October 8, we speak to Dan Lawrence about his new role as England's unlikely all-rounder after the most prolific season of his career to date.
"It felt different this summer," Lawrence tells Phil Walker as we look ahead to England's tantalising winter tour of South Africa by considering the make-up of their top six and analysing the success of their formidable four-pronged pace attack.
Elsewhere, we go big on one of the most captivating county seasons in recent memory, counting down the 40 best performances across all competitions, examining the contrasting campaigns of Warwickshire, Lancashire, Kent, Middlesex and Northants, and getting the inside track from title-winner Ethan Bamber, the bowler of the season, who delivers this month's guest diary.
Raf Nicholson hails the success of the all-conquering Blaze in the women's domestic game, columnist Daniel Norcross picks out the highs and lows from his season on the commentary circuit, and Sam Northeast speaks to Jo Harman-McGowan about his triumphant return to Kent.
We have eye-opening features from Tawhid Qureshi on Bangladesh's recent rise, Christopher Sandford on the plight of Imran Khan and Anjali Doshi on the brutal reality of being a female journalist, while Matthew Hayden is in effusive form as he tells us what's right and wrong about the game today.
Finally, Andrew Miller hails the return of Kevin Pietersen to the England fold, Lawrence Booth gives Ollie Robinson the credit he deserves, and Matt Henry tells us how county cricket transformed him into a world-class bowler.
