Wisden Cricket Monthly | May 2020
The cover story for the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly is a special feature on the battle for the future of Test cricket, as we consider the longer format’s place in the overall landscape of the game.
“I wouldn’t say Test cricket is on life support but it’s certainly in a bad way… the administrators are responsible for letting the game down,” Michael Holding tells us as part of a discussion – also featuring Harsha Bhogle, Mark Butcher, Chris Woakes, Wasim Khan and Mickey Arthur – on the burning issues affecting the format.
We also have mini essays from Jonathan Liew, Freddie Wilde and Dave Tickner on subjects including the World Test Championship, crowd numbers, four-day Test matches and the unstoppable rise of T20.
Elsewhere in the magazine, England’s gun all-rounder Nat Sciver talks to Phil Walker about her bid to become the best all-rounder in the game, Dawid Malan tells James Wallace he’s been painted as something he’s not, Aussie run-machine Dean Jones reflects on his life in cricket and Alison Mitchell takes us back to England’s 2008 tour of India and the chaos of the Mumbai terror attacks.
Elizabeth Ammon and Scott Oliver assess how the coronavirus crisis is impacting the county and recreational game respectively, Ryan ten Doeschate talks to John Stern about the importance of diversity, Derek Pringle picks his team of Essex all-timers and Kiwi left-armer Trent Boult shares his coaching tips on how to make the ball talk. Before comedian Miles Jupp rounds things off by reimagining the bad old days of English cricket with relish in ‘My Perfect Day'.
