WISDEN, John. Cricketers' Almanack for 1872, edited by W.H. Knight. London: John Wisden and Co., 1872. 8° (149 x 94mm). (Spotting to title and just a few other leaves.) Early 20th-century brown cloth, spine titled in gilt, original printed wrappers bound in (wrappers spotted, front wrapper tipped onto preceding blank with loss to left-hand border, and with paper adhesion mark in upper left hand corner). NINTH EDITION. W.G. Grace scores 0 and 268 in the North v South match, and his total of 2,739 runs at an average of 78.25 marks the first time any batsman had made 2000 or more runs. No other batsman was to achieve this until 1893. As the editor ruefully notes, Sussex play their last match on ‘the old ground by the sea’ which gave way to property development. The obituary of James Henry Dark, proprietor of Lord's ground from 1836 to 1864, is the first of many to be published in the almanack.
