Cricket Links You May Want To Share

[SJS]

Off anf on one keeps coming across some really nice cricket related news/link etc. I am sure others do to. I thought we mightas well have a place to share such links.

I came across on the BBCsite that you can actually download face masks of cricketers and then print them to make cutouts you maywant to wear at cricket matches.

Here it is

CricketArchive dotcom - the 2nd-greatest cricket site (and the greatest statistically) on the net.

Howstat.com is very good as well and this one ain't bad.

Is PlanetCricket just the forums, basically, then?

I mean, is there a front page a la CricketWeb?

At the moment, yes.

Cricket321 Another stats site, but it gives an breakdown of runs scored in each batting postion without recourse to statsguru a la cricinfo, which is nice if, like me, you're very lazy.

When Wisden and Cricinfo merged, they stopped publishing this online magazine, which used to have really interesting articles on cricket in Zimbabwe. You used to be able to email the editor, John Ward, who is Zimbabwe's leading cricket journo. Without this, I wouodn't know half as much about cricket in Zimbabwe as I do. I reckon John Ward and his team deserve more recognition for their efforts than they got.

Yeah, gun site that. One of our old-timers who is also a fellow globie writes for the Bermuda and world wide sections there.

19 Nepal 98 980 10 
20 Germany 98 980 10

Fairly accurate when you think about it. It screwed by the fact that Namibia schedule is dominated by matches against South African provincial sides, so they haven't played many games against International sides. Denmark also affected by the fact majority of their matches are against Ireland, Scotland and Holland. Both are probably higher then Uganda, but they improved heaps.

Jersey seem to be claiming pretty fast, but i guess that due to large number of matches European sides play in comparsion to other sides and their recent domination Div Two Europe.

Bermuda and USA falls are pretty much shown up there. As is Nepal lack of games

Thaks for that Zac. Its a very good site for areas one doesnt get to hear of.

cricketnext.com/is a new site from India. Still early days.

It belongs to a TVChannel group from India which is headed by Rajdeep Sardesai, son of the former Indian test batsman Dilip Sardesai.

Early days yet.

Prem Panicker's blog, prempanicker.com is quite good. He doesn't write as much about cricket these days, but when he does, he is usually pretty good.

I heard this one's pretty big. Don't know if everyones heard about it though.

There's also these forums, Cricket Net or Cricket Web, called something like that. Some decent people on there tbh, shame there are some real hardcore on it who wreck the place's atmosphere. There's this bloke who bangs on about Bangladeshi cricket to no end, does my head in.

Jersey are considered a separate side too?

I agree, how he ever got on the staff is beyond me. They said he was just a 14-year-old kid at the time too. How could anyone employ 14-year-olds and expect to be taken seriously?
