<br />
The driving force behind the creation of WCM was its first editor, [[David Frith]], formerly an editor of its rival, ''[[The Cricketer]]''. At first, it operated under the ''[[Wisden Group|Wisden]]'' name using licence from [[John Wisden & Co]]. ''Wisden'' later bought a controlling interest.<br />
<br />
After 202 editions, Frith gave way to [[Tim de Lisle]], before [[Stephen Fay]] took over from de Lisle after he moved to Wisden's online venture. The last issue of the original WCM, in September 2003, coincided with Fay's 65th birthday and his retirement.<br />
