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. It was briefly superseded by The World of Cricket which ran for 23 issues in 1914. 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.

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.

There is a complete run of the magazine from 1882 to 1914 by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians on their website. In addition, there is an extensive list of the obituaries which were published by Cricket.
