	John Wisden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wisden was born at 15 Hampden Place, Brighton, but moved to London after his father Thomas died.
		He retired from cricket in 1863 at the relatively early age of 37 as a result of rheumatism; he started publishing his annual cricketers' almanac the next year.
		He was posthumously selected as Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1913, 50 years after his retirement from first-class cricket.

		Wisden Cricketers' Almanack (or Wisden) is an annual publication devoted to cricket.
		Founded in 1864 by the English cricketer John Wisden (1826-1884), it is generally regarded as the standard reference work on the subject.
		Wisden presents the annual Wisden Cricketer of the Year awards.

	Wisden Cricketers of the Year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each year, five cricketers are named as Wisden Cricketers of the Year in the pages of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, based primarily, although not exclusively, on their "influence on the previous English season".
		From 2000 to 2003, inclusive, the award was made based on all cricket around the world, but this ended in 2004 when the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World award was introduced.
		Since 1998, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack Australia has selected an annual Wisden Australia's Cricketer of the Year, and five Wisden Cricketers of the Century were selected by a 100-member panel of cricket experts in 2000.

		In a Test career spanning 15 years from 1977, he scored 5,200 runs at 33.54, and took 383 wickets at an average of 28.40.
		Similarly successful at one-day cricket, he was a Wisden cricketer of the year in 1978.
		For several years, he was a resident team captain on the BBC quiz show "A Question Of Sport", and he has also taken up offers of appearing in pantomimes during the Christmas period.

	Online edition of Daily News - Sports
		The 2004-05 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack Australia, published today (Wednesday), is a history-making edition: the front image of a roaring Shane Warne is the first full-colour pictorial cover in Wisden's 141-year history.
		Wisden Australia mourns the modern trend towards "McCricket", calling for a stop to "back-to-back Tests, whistlestop tours, two- and four-Test series and all other dunderheaded attempts to jam Test cricket into a polystyrene carton and shove it down our throats as quickly as possible".
		Cricket tampers with its own crazy, bewitching rhythms at its peril." The disappearance of the five-Test series is one of several troublesome issues confronted by a feistier, revamped edition.

	Wilfred Rhodes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 1899, Rhodes' vicious spin, seen generally as being more vicious than Peel's, was deadly on the wet pitches of May and after the thunderstorms that occasionally punctuated the very hot and dry weather of the summer, and he was again among the leading wicket-takers.
		He was so successful in county cricket that he averaged under 13 for the next five years and his average in 1923 was the lowest for any bowler between 1895 and 1957.
		He was blind by 1945, but continued to attend cricket matches regularly, claiming to be able to follow everything from the sounds.

	Tich Freeman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Freeman relied chiefly on a leg-break that pitched on middle-and-leg, so that batsmen had to play at it, and a top-spinner that was notoriously difficult to detect; the googly he used sparingly.
		He was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1923 and took 17 for 67 on a rain-affected pitch against Sussex in 1922.
		However, 1928 was Freeman's great year, for it was then that he set his record of 304 first-class wickets and took 22 wickets in three Tests against the West Indies (plus 9 for 104 against them for Kent).

		S.J. Southerton was a partner in the Cricket Reporting Agency, which for many years was responsible for compiling the Almanack, and he was editor of the 1934 and 1935 editions of Wisden.
		Bradman first learned his cricket in pick-up matches at the Bowral Intermediate High School, and when he went to Sydney, in 1962 at the invitation of the State Selectors for a practice at the nets he was a somewhat uncouth, uncultured batsman.
		Not yet twenty-three, Bradman should have years of cricket in front of him and, judging by what he has already accomplished, there would seem to be no limit to his possibilities.

		He was Test cricket's leading run-getter in 2002, an impressive feat, if not the most meaningful one in England, where the cricketing year, like the financial, traditionally begins in April.
		By the end of the year, his habit of touching the peak of his helmet, like a classical batsman of old respectfully touching the peak of his cap, had become a familiar sight.
		His head was not turned by winning the Daily Telegraph Under-15 Cricketer of the Year award in 1990, nor by becoming England Under-19 captain four years later, in preference to Trescothick.

		Joining the military to meet the demand for officers caused by World War I, Dennett was not released until 1920, and never really recovered his pre-war form - being helped to good performances by some abysmal county batting sides to take 100 wickets again in 1921.

		Even considering the weakness of English bowling after the war, this was an exceptional start and Sutcliffe was nominated as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year for 1920.
		That year, he and Maurice Leyland hit Kenneth Farnes, one of the fastest bowlers of the 1930s, for 75 runs from four overs in one of the most remarkable displays of pulling and hooking.
		However, in county cricket he showed no further declines in form, and in 1939 — the last season before World War II halted county cricket for six years — he actually averaged 54.46 and his six centuries.

		He also made his mark as Indian captain for nearly ten years (having a short break and handing it to Sachin Tendulkar between the tour of England in 1996 and Australia's tour of India in 1997/98), but the question remains whether he will be good enough to enter this great Sharjah team.
		Perhaps more renowned for today's cricket fans for his commentating goldies than his batting skill, Navjot Sidhu was in fact one of India's better batsmen in the early 1990s.

		A tribute in the Wisden Almanack said: "There have been many greater cricketers than Pelham Warner but none more devoted to the game." He was captain of Middlesex for 12 years and in 1920 he led them to an unlikely Championship triumph.
