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 are often packed full of banners, adverts and pop-ups but not this one. It has advertising but only a small amount of it and it no way impedes ... more

Some writers and historians even trace back the origin of Cricket to 13th century. Now whether the games like stool-ball, rounders and cat and dog were actually the origin of cricket or the phases it passed through to reach the modern and glamoures sport that we know today by the name of cricket, whether the game played by the name of ‘creckett’ in the Tudor period was actually cricket or did Oliver Cromwell really used to play cricket in his youth, we can’t really say for sure but we can easily trace it back to the 17th century when you could run as many runs as you wanted ... more

...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 have to make do with one in the US, but whether you'd call them a major cricketing country these days is open to question.) So you have www-uk ... more

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 next day reporting of any game. The site hosts a great variety of information, from National sites (ecb.co.uk for example) through to Cricket ... more
