A celebration of the greatest players, matches and rivalries showcased at The Oval during 100 Tests
Jon Surtees is a former journalist and now communications manager at Surrey CCC. He is the author of Surrey CCC On This Day.
When a book like this is created, it comes with an air of
definitiveness; you don't make more than one Wisden at the Oval: An
Anthology… This being a collection of extracts from Wisden, you can
be sure of the quality of the writing. And the editor Jon Surtees
fills in the gaps adeptly, adding the historical contexts that
Wisden by its very nature, can't provide, while also providing
detailed explanations of why one story was chosen over another. The
thought that has gone into the book speaks of someone who genuinely
loves the place, loves the written word, and loves the game. It is
to his credit that he has done such justice to all three.
