Enid Bakewell was at Lord's this week to collect the Wisden Trophy for the best Test performance of 1968. Representing England against New Zealand at Christchurch, she scored 114 and 66 not out, and took 3-68 and 5-56. She is still playing cricket at the age of 83. #wisden2024

Congratulations to Mark Wood for being one of Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Year. He was a star in the Long Room at Lord’s last night at the launch of this year’s Wisden Almanack

Wonderful to be at Lords last night for the Wisden Almanack dinner - and especially great to see the living legend that is Enid Bakewell in attendance 😊

What’s the “spirit of cricket”? Does it even exist? The 2024 Almanack asks Harsha Bhogle, Chris Cowdrey, Michael Holding, Heather Knight, David Lloyd, Jim Maxwell, Alison Mitchell, Arjuna Ranatunga and the Dean of Durham. And what do YOU think? #wisden2024 wisden.com/stories/wisden…
