As recently as 2003, Wisden would pull up the drawbridge at the end of the English summer. Anything that happened after the county champions were crowned in September did not appear in print until 18 months later, which gave England fans enough time to come to terms with their teams latest overseas disaster, before they finally got to read about it.

Now, though, the Almanack is about as up to date as an annual can be, this years edition more than ever: it includes reports on 55 England games, played on 112 days, right up to February 21, when England lost the second Twenty20 at Johannesburg. The cricketers looked exhausted by the end of it all; our editorial staff can empathise.

Some old friends are no longer with us. Richie Benaud wrote regularly for Wisden , including the profile of his fellow 1962 Cricketer of the Year Alan Davidson, and four of the five profiles in 1973, when John Snow was the only non-Australian to make the cut. Benauds old mate Jack Bannister was our Warwickshire correspondent for 18 years until 2001. And Ghulam Mustafa Khan, the kind of conscientious statistician who keeps our cogs oiled, contributed to every Almanack since 1959. The obituaries of Bannister and Khan will appear in Wisden 2017 .

My thanks go, as ever, to a tireless team, not least Hugh Chevallier, the co-editor. Both deputy editors have recently raised their bats: in October, Steven Lynch brought up 30 years of work for various Wisden publications; and in November, Harriet Monkhouse racked up 25. Im simply the latest editor to benefit from their diligence and vast expertise. Thanks, too, to our assistant editors, James Coyne and James McCall, and to our consultant publisher, Christopher Lane, whose input remains indispensable. Contributing editor Richard Whitehead handled a frantic year with his usual aplomb.

Another anniversary is celebrated by our production co-ordinator Peter Bather, who this year put his 40th Almanack to bed with customary good humour. Charlotte Atyeo at Bloomsbury was especially supportive, and Im grateful for the typesetting of Stephen Cubitt and Mike Hatt, the statistical acumen of Philip Bailey, and the proofreading of Charles Barr. Id also like to thank Lee Clayton, sports editor of the Daily Mail , for continuing to allow me the time for Wisden .

To Anjali Doshi, my wife, go my love and gratitude for her affection and understanding. We moved house last year, and it will be intriguing to spend my waking hours in a room other than the study.

COMMENT

THE LEADING CRICKETERS IN THE WORLD

Kane Williamson

Suzie Bates

The Leading Cricketers in the World are chosen by the editor of Wisden in consultation with some of the worlds most experienced writers and commentators. Selection is based on a players class and form shown in all cricket during the calendar year, and is merely guided by statistics rather than governed by them. There is no limit to how many times a player may be chosen.

FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR

Jonny Bairstow

Brendon McCullum

Steve Smith

Ben Stokes

Kane Williamson

The Five Cricketers of the Year are chosen by the editor of Wisden , and represent a tradition that dates back to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. Excellence in and/or influence on the previous English summer are the major criteria for inclusion. No one can be chosen more than once.

WISDEN SCHOOLS CRICKETER OF THE YEAR

Ben Waring

The Schools Cricketer of the Year, based on first-team performances during the previous English summer, is chosen by Wisdens schools correspondent in consultation with the editor and other experienced observers. The winners school must be in the UK, play cricket to a standard approved by Wisden and provide reports to this Almanack.

WISDEN BOOK OF THE YEAR

The Test by Simon Jones and Jon Hotten

The Book of the Year is selected by Wisdens guest reviewer; all cricket books published in the previous calendar year and submitted to Wisden for possible review are eligible.

WISDENS WRITING COMPETITION

was won by Will Beaudouin

Wisdens Writing Competition is open to anyone (other than previous winners) who has not been commissioned to write for, or has a working relationship with, the Almanack.

Full details of past winners of all these honours can be found at www.wisden.com

At faraway Hobart, in long-ago January 2015, Ben Stokes played an innings that had English cricket quietly sobbing at the perversity of it all. The squad for the World Cup was already picked, and Stokes after enough ducks to fill a pond had been left out. Now, wearing the liberating Big Bash colours of Melbourne Renegades, he smashed 77 off 37 balls. Gleeful Aussies had their fun: the Poms couldnt even pick the right blokes! And they had a point: a few weeks later, England messed up their sixth World Cup in a row.
