Talk:Wisden Cricketers' Almanack

Cover
Something should be put in about the long running woodcut on the cover being controversially dropped by Tim de Lisle during his one-off year in the job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.20.114 (talk • contribs) 13:23, 4 February 2006

 * I have addressed this- not sure there's any controversy any more. Jockosaurus (talk) 10:52, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Editors
It would be nice if there was a complete list of editors, with their dates. That's something that doesn't seem to be available anywhere on the WWW, as far as I can see, not even in the Wisden Archive at Cricinfo. I'm sure I've seen a list in one of my cricket reference books somewhere - possibly an old edition of Wisden itself - but I haven't been able to run it to ground.

Further digging jas turned up the info, at:

and

(clicking on the year by year links)

Note that though John Wisden was the publisher, it seems that he was never the editor.

Comment on the latest edit
"...and is among the most famous sports reference books published in the United Kingdom" seems to me to be an understatement. I don't think that there's much doubt that it's the most famous. I don't know how one could prove that, though the number sold each year (which I suspect is greter than any other sport reference book) might be one indication. JH 17:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have reworded that section, hopefully to everyone's satisfaction.Jockosaurus (talk) 10:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Change of Editor
My copy of the 2008 Wisden makes it clear in the Editor's notes that Matthew Engel has decided he won't be coming back after this year and will retire permanantly as editor - Sciald Berry who is editing this year will stay on as the new editor. This probably ought to be verified and added to the article. 194.74.227.66 (talk) 11:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Good source material

 * There are a number of articles in the current Wisden to mark the 150th edition which have useful material about the almanack's history, of which that article is one. There;s also one on the history of the Cricket Reporting Agency. When time permits I hope to do something with the material - though I'd be delighted if somebody else did so first.
