Bloomsbury presents Crickonomics by Stefan Szymanski and Tim Wigmore, read by David Thorpe.

SELECTED AS ONE OF WATERSTONES BEST SPORT BOOKS OF 2022.
A CRICKETER BOOK OF THE YEAR.

An engaging tour of the modern game from an award-winning journalist and the economist who co-authored the bestselling Soccernomics.

Why does England rely on private schools for their batters – but not their bowlers? How did demographics shape India’s rise? Why have women often been the game’s great innovators? Why does South Africa struggle to produce Black Test batters? And how does the weather impact who wins?

Crickonomics explores all of this and much more – including how Jayasuriya and Gilchrist transformed Test batting but T20 didn’t; English cricket’s great missed opportunity to have a league structure like football; why batters are paid more than bowlers; how Afghanistan is transforming German cricket; what the rest of the world can learn from New Zealand and even the Barmy Army’s importance to Test cricket.

This incisive book will entertain and surprise all cricket lovers. It might even change how you watch the game.©2022 Tim Wigmore (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Cricket Sports History Spor Oyun İngiltere

Superb (Matthew Syed)
Fascinating
Crickonomics is packed with sufficient statistical analysis to have the most ardent cricket geek purring with pleasure
Provides answers to a range of fascinating questions about the sport (The Daily Telegraph)
An insightful, Hawk-Eye-like analysis of the numbers behind cricket
An illuminating study
A fact-packed and thought-provoking tour through cricket’s highways and byways
A startingly comprehensive insight into the past, present and possible future of this most English of sports.
Part history, part data analysis, part reflection on the sport’s future, Crickonomics is exactly what the title suggests - a diagnosis of the state of professional cricket through the lens of economics.
Taps into meaningful and eternal themes
Pacy and extraordinarily broad
The most engaging and insightful book on the progress of cricket that I have ever read… it is a book which should be of interest not only to cricket enthusiasts, but anyone with an interest in sport.
Wigmore is one of sporting journalism’s most original thinkers.
brilliant research and arguments, backed by conviction one would associate with true experts of the game…a must read.

When you have a book on data and analytics, you don’t read data tables item by item. At several places in the book there are different historical data points being shown in a table. Instead of summarizing the key highlight from the table, the person starts reading the table. It is pointless and annoying to listen to so many numbers. It would be best to include those tables in an accompanying PDF and just summarize the table in one line.

Interesting book but terrible reading performance

There is. I way ever that hearing someone read out a data table will be fun. The insights are good though. If you love the game it’ll tell you quite a bit about the idiots who run it…

This is data-driven insight so it’s very good. It’s also a state of the “nation”. Well worth the effort…

A bit of a tough one to review, the content is really interesting and I would recommend to any cricket fan however there are numerous occasions where you will be sat for anywhere between 5-10 minutes with nothing but line after line of a table being read out which is not only monotonous but also less impactful as unless you have a great memory it's very hard to compare the stats to those read out 5 minutes ago!

Interesting Content, better as a book!

I loved this. It managed to both reinforce areas I already knew about and introduced me to knew topics relevant to the modern game. It genuinely expanded my knowledge of the key themes and undercurrents cricket faces today. The comparisons to other global sports give an indicator of where cricket could be as a truly global game.

2 things that would help improve this audio book.

1. proper labeling of the chapters, giving a description of what the chapter covers.

2. Preparation. I'd highly recommend having a pen and paper to hand to transcribe the tables of information as they are read out. I started doing this halfway through as I noticed that when I was just listening to them I was reacting as if I was listening to the footy pools results when no 1st and 2nd division teams were playing.

It's a great book/listen.

Expands knowledge of what's behind the modern game
