The 157th edition of the most famous sports book in the world – published every year since 1864 – contains some of the finest sports writing of the year and covers reports and scorecards for all Tests, one-day and Twenty20 internationals, making it the cricketers' bible worldwide. The 2020 edition includes full coverage of the Cricket World Cup and this year's momentous drawn Ashes.

There are treasures galore to be discovered, all meticulously
gathered and utterly trustworthy except on pages 1500-1508, which
are devoted to the 2020 fixture list.
*The Guardian*
But the undoubted highlight of the week has been the arrival of
this year’s Wisden Almanack. I haven’t had time to do more than dip
in so far ... but the new Wisden is always a sure sign of the start
of summer. Though what kind of summer it will be is still in the
lap of the coronavirus.
*The Guardian*
Wisden was published on a hot sunny day last week, and it will be a
pleasure to treasure while the sporting world remains in
hibernation. There are 1,500 pages between the daffodil yellow
covers, but never has the size felt less daunting.
*Sunday Express*
Overall, Wisden succeeds again in meeting its challenge, recording
meticulously and comprehensively while finding time to breathe and
reflect.
*The Cricketer*
The 157th edition of the game’s bible is as bulky as ever: 1,536
pages squeezed between the familiar yellow covers and packed with
statistics, scorecards, match reports and titbits that will
reassure fans that there are some things that even Covid-19 cannot
destroy.
*The Financial Times*
It is a book of three parts: comment; record; and delightful
minutiae, which always brings the most cheer.
*The Times*
The joys of the Almanack are the joys of cricket. Its landscape is
vast, its minutia endlessly explorable. It is somewhere to escape
to.
