There are few parts of Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack that embody the magic and appeal of the game more than Cricket Round the World. Elk Stopped Play is a carefully-chosen selection of stories from twenty years of one of Wisden’s most-loved sections. Combining the highlights of two decades of the Almanack’s coverage of the game’s further reaches, as well as original material that places the stories in context and expands upon the incidents and personalities involved, it is an original and eccentric examination of the sport’s enduring worldwide appeal.
