Wisden’s obituary section, a tapestry of cricket, by their master weaver Steven Lynch
from Oborne & Heller on Cricket · host Peter Oborne, Richard Heller, Steven Lynch
Year after year the obituary section of Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack is one of its most admired features. Its tributes to people who have contributed to cricket mean a great deal to their families, friends and followers. But they also form a tapestry of cricket itself. They capture its varied settings and moods: they reveal why millions of people in all walks of life across the world have been drawn to the game.
