It is he who decides the policy of the Cricketers' Bible and cricketers the world over look to him to give a lead on all controversial problems. His is, therefore, no easy task, but Wisden has been fortunate in its editors. That was written in 1933, and it is still true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe heart of the Almanack is the section entitled \u003ci\u003eNotes By The Editor.\u003c\/i\u003e The editor's opinions can change careers, laws--indeed every part of the game. This anthology is a brief dip into the half a million words or so that make up the annual \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003eas the editors take a view of what really matters--the spirit in which cricket is played and how to keep it relevant and popular.

As John Woodcock wrote in 1983, 'the game is never quite the same from one season to the next' and nor, indeed, are the \u003ci\u003eNotes. \u003c\/i\u003eHowever, as this anthology shows, the \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003eare always stimulating and firmly expressed, providing an important insight into the cricket of the day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wisden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472975638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.20h x 4.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Jonathan Rice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40422997688501,"sku":"9781472975638","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ed3c74b9-005f-4f7a-8f4e-96779851fe57.jpg?v=1625575365","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/notes-by-the-editors-120-years-of-wisden-opinion-9781472975638","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
