Is this the first year Wisden has dedicated a separate Ashes section?
Well it’s not been done like this before, but we’ve never had a series like it before. It was the greatest series of all time, I’m very sure of that. There are no ifs or buts, it was something very wonderful and very special and it’s right for Wisden to give the story its full worth. Did the extraordinary impact of the Ashes affect the production of this year’s edition? Very much so, but this is not a parochial matter. The Ashes, and the phenomenal impact it had on England and Australia – and to a lesser extent around the world – was the most important story of the year in cricket. Many interesting things happened elsewhere, and we report them fully and in many cases at length. The Ashes, though, was the story of the year, if not the decade, and it was right that we should report it in a way we haven’t reported a Test series before.
