Pitted by many as the best all rounder of his time, John Wisden was a short man who was, in no way, short of cricketing genius. He started off as a fast bowler, but later on his pace decreased a little. So accurate was his bowling that in his heydays he took nearly 10 wickets on an average per match. In 1850, in a match against South and North at lords, he took all ten wickets of North. Not just that, every batsman was clean bowled by Wisden, a record that still stands. By the time he stopped playing cricket, he has already claimed 109 first-class wickets at an average of 6.66. He was a good batsman too. Rheumatism forced him to leave the game at age 37. He is best remembered today as the founder of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. livescore.warofcricket.com provides the profile of John Wisden and other cricketers around the world. |
