It's terrible IMO! Terrible! Everything was so reader friendly before and I'm really uncertain as to why this change came about.

It looks more professional and more simliar to other stats pages around the web. It going to take some time to get used but i don't think it is terrible.

It'd help if the font was a bit bigger, and it was easier to establish between lines. One stage I'm reading along List A, next I'm reading first class averages.

The best feature of the new design IMO is that you can search for players who haven't played Tests or ODIs, instead of having to go through the country pages.

I'm not sure what's professional about it. I'm also not sure why they feel the need to conform to anyone's format. Cricketarchive still rocks the reader-friendly format AFAIK.

I think it's fine apart from the stats are not very clear - they've gone for aesthetics over practicality.

I like the new format MUCH more.

Crisper and classier. I also like smaller fonts which may be a reason.

I've got my resolution set to 1280x960 so everything looks like a small font, I still can't believe so many people use 800x600 - everything looks so different (and pixellated). Maybe the new format looks better under a certain resolution.

Mine is 1024 into 768

Still the new format is tinier for me.

Don't know about a backward step but that about the format before being more user friendly is quite true if you ask me. However, i have no problem with it. Now they have put batting apart from bowling which i feel i an improvement from before

Yes, I have to say familiarity with it and you'll have forgotten what it used to be like.
