I got in to work today and tried to log into CricInfo and found that they want me to pay $12US for the priviledge. I don't recall seeing anything about this. I can't even get access to Baggy Green. Is there a way around this and does anyone know of another website that provides similar information.

Well I have been meaning to bring up for about a week now, since it was announced in fact, about this merging of cricinfo and wisden online.

It can only be bad news IMO. If you read the article on cricinfo, it mentions how wisden charge for access to most of their online resources. It also says it is not their intention to start doing likewise, but costs have to be met or something along those lines.

In other words give it 6 months and we'll all have to pay to use cricinfo (well we won't because alot of people won't pay). Which would really annoy me because there is so much stuff on that website which is incredibly useful.

What sort of stuff do you find useful on CricInfo?

I hope they start charging, would hopefully get more people here ;)

Stats-Guru and Ask Philip are the only things of any use, IMO.

Mind you, I used Ask Philip once and never got a reply.

To tell the truth, the only thing I'd like is their database.

Since I don't have Sky I would say it's the live matches and also the fact that I can keep up with everyone's average and the scores from round the world.

Yep all the stats and scorecards like Neil says. Live coverage is excellent also.

Specifically - Statsguru, Player Profiles, Scorecards and database/archive in general.

The stats-guru is superb I must say, but they do run an inferior Fantasy League ;)

Cricket 4's is quite a good alternative, not as in depth in as many fields, but if you want info on any players ever to play for the top nations, venues, Test/ODI etc then it holds it's own.

Rather than starting a new topic to express this view, I thought I'd drag this one back from the dead.

What's up with the CricInfo headlines these days? Is it just me, or are they sensationalizing them? The other day, they said some thing to the effect of 'South Africa post massive total' and when I look, SA scored around 290.

Today, and I quote
Rudolph, Smith help South Africa post huge total

What's that huge total, you may ask? Well, its a mighty 261/5 :wow:

I agree, soon Cricinfo will be subsciption only and they will lose a huge amount of people. Hopefully they will all flood into here :D .

I find the fact that they host every countrys website, and all their provinces/states etc...Its very easy to navigate, and they cover all matches, big or small.
