By late 2002 the company was making a monthly operating profit and was one of very few independent sports sites to avoid collapse (such as Sports.com and Sportal). However, the business was still servicing a large loan. Cricinfo was eventually acquired by Paul Getty's Wisden Group, the publisher of "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack" and "The Wisden Cricketer", and renamed Wisden Cricinfo. The Wisden brand (and its own wisden.com site) were eventually phased out in favor of Cricinfo for Wisden's online operations. In December 2005, Wisden re-launched its recently discontinued "Wisden Asia Cricket" magazine as "Cricinfo Magazine", a magazine dedicated to coverage of Indian cricket. The magazine published its last issue in July 2007.
