1: Wisden Cricketers' Almanac. Now over 1,500 pages long, this almanac has appeared every year since 1864, cramming in the statistics of every innings in first-class cricket. Which batsman scored two ducks within 75 minutes? Which fielder was pelted with barbecued chicken? It is all in Wisden. Producer Peter Everett
