'Benson and Hedges Cricket year', now in its nineteenth edition, provides complete coverage of international and domestic cricket from September 1999 through to the final overs of the English cricket season in 2000. Throughout, there are topical features by Jonathan Agnew and other writers commissioned by him from around the world.
Agnew has written a full account of the match-fixing scandal that has rocked the world of international cricket. Agnew reflects on the careers of Mike Atherton and Alec Stewart who both appeared in their one hundredth Test this summer. The book ranges from England's tour of South Africa to the West Indies' visit to England, and includes every international series throughout the world in between.
As usual, English cricket fills the major part of the book. There are form charts for every county as well as full First-Class averages for every county and country,.
