Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2008

The county cricketers' year

After 145 years, Wisden finally took a look at county cricket through the eyes of some of its stalwart participants. Tanya Aldred traced the highs and lows of the county season with a batsman, a wicketkeeper, a spinner and a fast bowler

Smith does well - but England draw level

South Africa's young captain Graeme Smith started the 2003 tour of England in superlative form, scoring 277 in the drawn first Test and 259 in the second, at Lord's, which his side won. But England fought back to win the next Test, then South Africa won again, to lead 2-1 into the final match at The Oval. When Herschelle Gibbs led the tourists to a total of 484, it looked as if England would lose the series - but an amazing fightback, led by Marcus Trescothick, Graham Thorpe and Andrew Flintoff, saw England square the series in remarkable style

Browse editions Since 2004, each Almanack contains details of all the international cricket played in the previous calendar year - so the 2006-07 Champions Trophy, which took place towards the end of 2006, appears in Wisden 2007. Until 2003 the Almanack covered the cricket played in the previous year's English summer, and the overseas season that preceded it - so, for example, the 2002 Wisden covers the cricket played in England in 2001 and overseas in 2000-01.
