Are you refering to the little news ones?Armadillo said:I can't help but noticing that on the front page of the website, the pictures aren't exactly well, good. If you're looking for CW to compete with websites like CricketNext and one day Cricinfo, then there needs to be decent pics of players etc.
It's impossible for Cricket Web to compete with Cricinfo on the basis of media. This, simply because the likes of Cricinfo are commercial ventures that hire professional photographers, who not only dedicate professional time to photography, but also have professional equipment at their disposal and get paid professional salaries.Armadillo said:I can't help but noticing that on the front page of the website, the pictures aren't exactly well, good.

cricinfo and other websites aren't cricketweb, if you notice on the Cricinfo pictures it says copyright Getty Images, cricinfo pays for these images. Cricketweb doesn't have money to pay for pictures.Armadillo said:Thing is, cricinfo and other such websites show the players in action on their front page, whereas on CW i've noticed that most of the pictures are just cheesy front on shots of the players.
Btw, I am talking about the pics on the front page.

The Digital SLR cameras I'm referring to seem to cost in the range of $1,500 to $2,500
