The Final Word Cricket Podcast Wisden 2025 with Lawrence Booth
Season 18, Episode 8: We like forging traditions on the pod and one of those is speaking with Lawrence Booth, the editor of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, at Lord's on the day the little yellow wonder is released each year. We go through the 162nd edition in the usual way, published at a moment when there is much up for grabs in the global game - documented with care and caution in the editors' notes. From there, the chance to celebrate the best of the game in all its forms and from every corner of the cricket world.
