Cricket: A Weekly Record of the Game
Cricket: A Weekly Record of the Game (commonly known as Cricket) was a British cricket magazine, published in London, which ran from 1882 to 1913.[1] It was briefly superseded by The World of Cricket which ran for 23 issues in 1914.[2] Cricket had just three editors in its 32 years of publication: C. W. Alcock (1882–1907); F. S. Ashley-Cooper (1907–1911); and J. N. Pentelow (1911–1913). The World of Cricket was edited by Archie MacLaren and J. N. Pentelow.[1]
The last issue was published on 14 November 1914, three months after World War I began. Pelham Warner revived the idea of a weekly cricket periodical after the war by founding The Cricketer, which began publication in 1921.[3]
There is a complete run of the magazine from 1882 to 1914 by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians on their website.[4] In addition, there is an extensive list of the obituaries which were published by Cricket.[5]
