The Australian version of "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack" existed for a few years in the late 1990s/early 2000s, covering the Australian season in the same way as the English original. While there is some decent writing in this edition, and the statistics are plentiful as ever, the Australian version never seemed to capture the same heights that the English version does.

The 2000-01 edition features Steve Waugh as its cricketer of the year (as opposed to the English Almanack's five cricketers; I don't think the reduction is due to a lack of competition), Shane Warne breaking Dennis Lillee's Australian record of 365 Test wickets (Warne would go on to almost double that figure) and references to the Scott Muller incident.

Sadly, the Australian Almanack doesn't include the English editions' "List of Unusual Occurrences", which is habitually the first thing I turn to when I read a "Wisden", and the Australian "Wisden" was much the poorer for it. ( )
