Wisden Cricket Monthly - Issue 92

In dit nummer

The latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out on November 6, is an Ashes bonanza as we gear up for – in the words of Brendon McCullum – "the biggest series of all our lives".
Across more than 30 pages of dedicated Ashes coverage, Yas Rana heads up to Yorkshire to meet Joe Root, Mark Wood tells us his fast-bowling secrets, and Ben Gardner analyses whether England's pace attack can deliver a first series win down under since 2010/11.
Jo Harman-McGowan examines the relentless brilliance of Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood, we put the microscope on Australia's uncertain top six, Damien Fleming tells us what we can expect from each of the five pitches, and a selection of writers and broadcasters give us their series predictions.
We also revisit classic moments from past battles, as Geoff Lemon picks out the most notorious fast-bowling spells from Ashes series down under, Richard Whitehead remembers the brief but devastating impact of Frank 'Typhoon' Tyson, and Phil Walker takes us back to Ian Botham's last great howl of protest at the Gabba in 1986.
Elsewhere in the magazine, we cover a thrilling finale to the county season as Sam Dalling reports on a triumphant campaign for local rivals Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, Notts' title-winning coach Peter Moores explains his deep love for the county game, we pick our Championship XI of 2025, and Katya Witney reflects on a groundbreaking summer for the women's domestic game, focusing on the success of double-winners Lancashire.
As for our columnists, Andrew Miller reveals how Taylor Swift could have been the saviour of English cricket, Lawrence Booth says the hostility between India and Pakistan will have wider consequences for the global game, John Stern pays tribute to the late, great Dickie Bird, and guest diarist Sonny Baker reports from England's white-ball tour of New Zealand.
