Wisden Cricket Monthly - 10.2018

Founded in 1864 by the Victorian cricketer-cum-entrepreneur John Wisden - a tiny fast bowler from Brighton who is still the only player to have bowled all 10 batsmen in the same first-class innings - the Almanack has long been the most prestigious name in sports publishing.

***In the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, Gideon Haigh and Kumar Sangakkara reflect on the career of Alastair Cook after England’s record run-scorer’s emotional farewell to international cricket. Elsewhere, Jonathan Liew talks to Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid about their enduring friendship and representing the diversity of England. We also pick out the major stories of the summer, including Surrey’s first Championship title for 16 years; Phil Walker hails the impact of England's chief selector Ed Smith; Worcestershire's Daryl Mitchell reflects on a tough year for opening batsmen; and Ben Gardner meets the Afghanistan squad on their tour of England and Ireland and asks what's next for Test cricket’s newest nation.***
