About Wisdens.org
I have been collecting Wisdens for a while now and in 2005 set up this Website to pass on my Wisden experiences, this site was the first ever created on the internet to explain about Wisdens to the masses and it is regularly updated with valuable statistics to help every Wisden collector when needed, to enhance their set. This site includes a popular discussion forum (wisdenclub.com) which has kept me entertained since '05. Over time we were offered Wisdens from members and also people asked if we had any spares to fill gaps in their sets. This led to our online Wisden Catalogue and this evolved into our sister site wisdenauction.com (see 2013 Wisden, pages 50/51), we improved the look and feel of this site in August 2013, Happy Collecting, Chris Ridler, Wisden Collector.

I am currently reading my set and pop notes into the www.wisdenauction.com newsletter, here is a snippet of the write up from 1872 : MCC season, it started with a match (May 8-10) vs the 15 who have never played at Lords and the summary started like Mr Fish (or not!) in ‚¬„¢87 ‚¬Å“On the first day there was a violent storm of lightening, thunder, wind and rain ; on the second day frequent showers fell, and a cold north wind blew ; and on the third day it was so nippingly cold as to be more suggestive of February in football than May and maiden overs ‚¬Å“ the football reference was interesting as this is 1871 and Birmingham City (hence football J ) didn‚¬„¢t start until 1875. Clayton bowled 85 overs for 82 runs! And Alfred Shaw had ‚¬Å“a pair of them;‚¬ less in jest here, a pair was used back in 1871 for 2 ducks, Q: I always thought it was short for a pair of spectacles being 0-0 , is that true? The 15 won by 34 runs. Vs Surrey on May 15/16 , Grace 181 and Jupp 85 had the batting displays of the year and won by an innings. A couple of games later Yorkshire came to the MCC , May 22 & 23, and Wisden goes into Horses a lot as per the new calendar entries and this game was in derby week so a lot of horse talk. Grace was run (thrown) out for 98 but MCC won as Freeman is injured. : Please contact us for the full write up.
My 1872 Wisden, as pictured, is a 100% paperback in very nice condition, it is a bit skewed but this is not off putting, purchased at Auction for £3524 (which I was very happy with) in 2013.
