CricketArchive now a pay site?

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Wankers. I used that site all the time.

50 quid a year not to see the bloody Mona Lisa on every page is probably a good deal though

[straw man]

Still accessible for free for NZ players via blackcaps website (hope they don't see this and shut it down).

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's terrible. Was my go to place for FC stats.

 

[S.Kennedy]

They've left us with our dicks in our hands!

I was just using it yesterday, looking up an outground I intend to visit in the summer.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah assholes, had never really used it until the county draft, was looking forward to using it for FC stats.

 

[indiaholic]

This sucks... I am guessing that pews has scraped the site and will dump it online for all of us.

 

[Daemon]

This is bull****, my stats are up there

 

[cnerd123]

We need an official Cricketweb account for this site now

Why has CricketArchive been placed behind a paywall?
CricketArchive is the world’s largest single-sport database and we are always seeking ways to improve the site and its user experience. As a result, we have taken the decision to put the site behind a paywall. This is being done for two core reasons: first removal of advertisements will speed up the site and allow the information to be even more easily found; and secondly, the advertising no longer covers the significant costs of maintaining and developing the site.

They understand ''Sky-speak''.

I love how they make it sound it`s all for your good to remove the advertising.... I`m all for earning morning from hard work, but don`t say its because you trying to help us out.

As I said, Sky-speak: ''we are committed to improving coverage of cricket and take our role as foremost provider of cricket in England seriously blah blah blah''.

They should've experimented with the adblock detector for a while.

Stats are stats. Especially to one sport so I guess a small percentage only looked at the site anyway so it wont hurt them that less will look now. Frustrating but at the end of the day it makes better financial sense to them.
