The Wisden Cricketer

Well at least I won't get bored!!!

I should hope not!

Be interesting to see how they report the early World Cups and also other major games (Headingley 81, Tied Test etc.)

If I find anything interisting I'll put it up here...

Maybe I'll get a column about my search through the archives?

I like the Australian cricket mag, The Inside Edge

Anyone else read this?

Yes i got hold of a few copies when I was in Aus, its good i think, but not as good as TWC... And i totally agree with the bit about the blokes and sheilas lol...

Nice idea IMO - since it's an ear only Eddie would remember () I'm sure that a lot of people would like to see how it was reported back then?

Rik: Come up with something and we'll see as I think it's a great idea too.

Yeah, it's a great mag, even though they have changed it recently. It used to be a monthly publication, but then they have transformed it from quite a serious publication to a blokey publication, and now only seem to publish them a few times a year, such as a preview and review of the Australian season, and special editions like the World Cup and 100 Greatest Australian cricketers.

Actually, I'm wondering what has happened to it, because they would have surely published a review of World Cup and Windies tour.

If they have, I can't find it anywhere...

Inside Edge and what looks to be the 'latest news':

Rik, you should tell your mum to go get as much as she can. Did great writers like EW Swanton or John Arlott (I know he was a great commentator) ever write for The Cricketer?

 

[Rik]

Well I've already found a few gems:

Review of Brian Lara's Test Debut

Review of the Test in which Darren Gough wacked the Aussies around for his 1st Test 50

John Allot (or someone similer) on Courtney Walsh

Review of the Test in which Darren Gough wacked the Aussies around for his 1st Test 50

Small point, but it was his 2nd fifty.

Either way I think this is a great idea for a column etc., and am clearly not alone.

I was sure it was his 1st...

Oh well, Eddie should remember "Big Dev" smashing Warne around for 29...

Would I get hit with copyright for the column?

 

[Top_Cat]

Yes if you submit a significant portion of the articles in unmodified form. Maybe you should contact them somehow first.

Or you could talk about what you'd read rather than quoting directly what you'd read.

Another cricket 'magazine' i get is one named Cricket Weekly, which is an Australian only publication. Actually it is made in newspaper format. Cricket Weekly has very good coverage of the cricketing world, but it is really only for diehard fans such as myself. Cricket Weekly covers each little thing that happens in the cricket week, and also accounts a large amount of match reports, including international, domestic, and even the Aussi 'A' grade games. Cricket Weekly holds a competition each time the paper is released. It is very simple, send in a good cricketing question to the editor and if you have the best one you get a prize. i won this prize. The prize was a book written by the editor, Ken Peisse. (Bradmans of The Bush) Kens a nice guy, and luckily for me when i won the Cricket Weekly team were very slow to get back to me so i got two books. a happy day.

I thought copyright would be a problem. Then I thought we could just contact them and ask permission, but seeing as Wisden and Cricinfo are now the same, they are unlikely to grant one of their biggest competitors the right to use their material. It might even give them an idea to use on their site, which means we lose out. (They do already have all todays yesterdays, etc).

Difficult. Maybe as Corey suggests you could put a spin on what is there?

 

[Craig]

Do Wisden Cricinfo know that Cricket Web exists?

 

[chris.hinton]

Good think on the back pages about Ashley Mallett on Ashely Giles and Flat Spin

 

[Rik]

Maybe I could just do a report with important quotes and summing up the rest?

For crying out loud, give it a rest!

You are the proverbial broken record.

 

[marc71178]

I was sure it was his 1st...

He got one on debut as well.

D'oh...now I remember...:duh: :duh:
