cricinfo.com

Cricinfo is the largest Cricket related website out there and not only is it the largest but it is by far the best too. With over 20 million users the site is one of largest websites in the world. It was launched in 1993 and was based in London. Today the base has moved to Bangalore, India, no doubt to cut down costs. There are offices in London, Chennai, Mumbai and Colombo. First impressions are good. The homepage is clear and precise. Sports websites ...
...not this one. It has advertising but only a small amount of it and it no way impedes the quality or usefulness of the site. The main colour is blue which goes hand in hand with the blue Cricinfo logo which many could accuse of being bland. Personally this doesn't bother me. Quality and relialability are far more important factors to me and no doubt others. The speed of the Cricinfo site is very fast, pages load quickly and it has a very reliable ...

...ever. BACKGROUND ~~~~ Cricinfo.com is claimed to be the most popular global single sport site. Its head office is in the UK and has 8 national offices in Australia, Pakistan, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and USA.

Review of cricinfo.com

...oh no...I love it! Cricket means a lot to me, and CricInfo is by a considerable margin the sport website I use most. It's also the one I find most pleasant to use. It manages to combine user-friendliness, accuracy, speed and comprehensiveness in one package, which is a rare thing on the net (or, indeed, anywhere). One factor in its speed is the sensible decision to have separate servers for the main cricketing countries. (Well, the West Indies ...
...whether you'd call them a major cricketing country these days is open to question.) So you have www-uk.cricket.org for Britain, www-ind.cricket.org for India and so on. This prevents the awful bottlenecks you get on many sporting sites during major competitions. Another point in CricInfo's favour is its eschewing of the pointless showing off that blights so many sites. You won't have to wait five minutes for a pathetic Flash intro to load here. ...

Review of cricinfo.com

I have seen Cricinfo flourish over the last four years, having jumped on board at its launch. Since then I have watched the site develop into the outstanding cricket site on the web. I have also helped to contribute to its development, by submitting new headers and footers for Austria's page - they will be going up on the site soon and I have helped by submitting scorecards to the site too. The site is so reliable that you can guarantee practically ...
...great variety of information, from National sites (ecb.co.uk for example) through to Cricket appreciation societies. Cricinfo has helped greatly with the spread of the game, and indeed in Austria, it is effectively the only real source of information for the sport, and has really helped to help the sport increase in popularity, and many players coming to Austria are only aware of the existence of cricket and the very active nature of Cricket in Austria ...

Review of cricinfo.com

India enjoyed a very successful opening day in the first Test match against Zimbabwe at the Queen's Sports Club in Bulawayo on Thursday. They bowled the home side out for 173 and by close had scored 83 for three. India played well, but were helped by a dismal Zimbabwe batting performance, as one soft dismissal followed another. The early-morning cloud had largely dispersed by the time play started with Heath Streak deciding to bat on a good-looking ...
...brief early life proved to be correct, and the batsmen struggled for the first half- hour or so. There must have been close on a thousand spectators present at the start of the match, certainly a record for Zimbabwe. Almost all of them were school children, and the Matabeleland Cricket Association must be congratulated in its initiative in attracting so many to watch. Unfortunately they were treated to one of their team's most mentally challenged ...

This is without doubt the most comprehensive and detailed cricket website (if not, sports website) I have ever come across. I am a big fan of cricket and when I came across CricInfo I was not disappointed - this is every cricket-lover's dream! There is so much in CricInfo it is difficult to cover everything here but I will describe as concisely as I can the main features of this excllent website. You can research of any cricket team from National ...
...nations are covered but non-test playing nations are also included too. As far as I am aware, every single test match since the birth of cricket is covered so if you want to look at the scorecard and match review of a match on a particular date then this is easily done. One would expect with a huge database of cricket matches that there is not much room for more. This is not the case in CricInfo as there is a massive database of players, various ...

For any followers of cricket worldwide and here in England, Cricinfo is the 'bible' of websites. Just a click on the flag of the country you are interested in and you are through to up to the minute information of that country's current first class and test cricket. Recently I went to see a Womens Test match cricket and it was an excellent day out with over 350 runs scored and 15 wickets falling. I wanted to find out what was going on one afternoon ...
...the next day. Logged onto cricinfo and there it was a LIVE Scorecard of the day! And that was just for a womens test match. They also have live scorecards for Test matches throughout the world and Enlish First class games too. Definately recommended for First class coverasge of the First class game - but more than that as it goes even further down with in depth coverage of all the major competitins. If you are into cricket - get into 'cricinfo' ...
