Season 8, Ep 3: The year of cricket ahead might look sparse, but the year before was one of the busiest. For 157 years the Wisden Almanack has been recording all things cricket, and the latest edition of the biggest small book in the game is out this week. As last year, we talk through the contents with editor Lawrence Booth. 

Also on the show this week: Steve O’Keefe has to hang up his glowsticks as New South Wales give him a premature move-along. Dean Jones cracks the shits with Victoria. Bruce Dawe departs this world. NRL Island might be a goer. Plenty of Nerd Pledge, and our new segment Happy Birthday Sachin.  

Our Nerd Pledge numbers for this week are: 

2.33 (from Ajay) 
6.70 (from Will Maclean) 
2.72 (from Ben Raue) 

Guess away. Our answers are in the episode.
