One of the first Dooyoo ops I wrote was an ill-advised attempt to spread the news of the death of Sir Don Bradman by means of an 'op' on Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. It was such a bad idea, that until today, the op remained 'locked' by Dooyoo for being inappropriate - cringesome when I think about some of the 75 word wonders I've seen happily floating around here posing as opinions and racking up the SUs and NUs! So here is a chance for me to put things "write", <groan now. No more puns> as I present to you a bright, shiny op on Wisden - the cricketers' bible. ~~~A love affair~~~ I have loved ...  Read the complete review

For the true cricket fan Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is the bible. It is the ultimate cricket book with everything you would ever need or want to now about cricket. The 1998 version, which I own, was the 135th version of Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack and is surely the biggest selling cricket book of all time. If you are reading this then it probably means that you are a cricket fan and know everything there is to know about this book, so won’t bother reading this – but just in case you clicked on this by mistake (in which case you would have clicked on the back button on the toolbar, leaving me with no readers at this point) I will tell you all ...  Read the complete review
