Cricketweb is easily one of the top 5 websites in the world because of the forum it possesses. I am happy the book review section gets a mention because they do a tremendous job week in and week out.
Regarding the forum - there are two other forums which possess a fair quality of members - cricketfansfourm and The Victor Trumper Cricket Board. Then there are forums which possess a larger quantity of members like The Indian Fans Forum and Planet Cricket. However, a combination of the two - quality and quantity - makes cricketweb the best forum on the net.
The moderation is excellent. Earlier, we used to warn people over merely abusing and personal insults were not taken into accord. I suggested Ad Hominem and now, even though abuses are looked down upon, there is a far greater vigilance over personal insults which is the way it should be in my opinion.
The Fantasy Cricket is also the best on the net.
Coming to the features - we have a good quality but not one of the best. This is one area we can certainly improve in and I have seen vast improvement compared to six months ago. We see far more interesting features now and I am sure we are going in the right direction.
The Telegraph has mentioned blogs like Will Luke's Corridor among the top 20 cricket websites but I fail to see how most blogs can be as indepth as a complete site or a forum which is far more comprehensive in coverage (provided the quality is good). Some times, blogs are indeed great sites like say Instapundit but it is more of an exception than a rule.
The problem with cricketweb is that, as The Telegraph mentioned, it is unheralded, but with time, I am sure we will gain more popularity, recognition and value as a site.
