Season 14, Episode 4: Four years ago, we sat with Lawrence Booth, the editor of cricket's bible, to discuss his most recent edition on the night that Geoff won the gong as Wisden's book of the year. Well, four years and a pandemic later, Adam is the same guest on the same couch in the MCC Library at Lord's to discuss edition number 160.... and it's a belter. It isn't overstating matters to say that international cricket needs advocates, like the Almanack, like never before in recent memory with the sport by the month. Lawrence articulates that threat in blunt terms alongside a celebration of the best of our game - not least the most welcome BazBall revolution. And of course, Shane Warne is paid tribute in the best traditions of this fine publication. Enjoy the chat and the book.
