The Pantheon is out now.
My attempt to rank the best ever Test cricketers, out of over 3,000 to play the game.
Lovely to see it in some great company in bookshops - and available in all the usual places too.

The Bellinghams are the exception: younger brothers are normally better

The Pantheon: Test Cricket's Best 50 Players of All Time is out now.
The book ranks the top players ever, and how they rate against each other.
Lara or Tendulkar? Warne or Murali? Hobbs or Root? Which Caribbean quick was the greatest? And who was the best Test cricketer of all?

Why Jimmy Anderson is (just) outside the top 50 Test cricketers, out of over 3,000 to play the game.
An incredible career and bowler, but in this company suffers from his record overseas, Ashes average of 36 and average number of wickets per Test: 3.7.

Super excited that my new book The Pantheon is out on Thursday!
I rank the 50 best players to play Test cricket since 1877.
In a series of comparative essays, I assess which titans are better and why. Lara or Sachin? Who is the best West Indies quick? And who is the Test MVP?
You can buy a copy here - geni.us/TimWigmoreBooks - or in good bookshops

From Trinity College, Cambridge, to batting for England and now teaching pupils history at Oundle School, John Crawley has enjoyed quite the sporting life.
He speaks to @timwig about his ordeal in Australia and that famous smoking habit ⬇️

In his past 22 Test matches, going back to January 2024, Marnus Labuschagne averages just 22.9.
He is merely the most extreme example of the dysfunction in Australia’s batting line-up.

Nathan Lyon isn't just being left out of the team more. When he is playing, he has become less effective.
In his past 16 Tests, Lyon has taken 47 wickets, just under three per Test.
Simon Harmer outbowling Lyon in Cape Town could decide the series
