A bloke who happened to be working in the US is not the same as a US corporation.

Cricinfo was created by people in the US in the first place so the fact it has been taken over by a US makes no difference.

I agree with your judgement, KC – not worth writing a whole post about.

I certainly wouldn’t write a comment in the discussion area if you were to write such a post.

You can still have the old homepage if you want:

but I don’t know for how much longer. The stats guru thing looks better though. The one worry I had when the ESPN thing went through was that this bit would disappear / not get updated / not be quite as free.

So, on balance, I like it. However, we are CRICKET PEOPLE. Therefore – it’s new, so I hate it.

Has Amazon “acquired” KingCricket? Every time I try to read Q’s comment above, it gets covered up with an advert that I can’t move or remove.

The 1 thing that seems to be missing is from the archive results and series. For the moment atleast. In the old version u could view all the stats of the batsmen and bowlers from the previous series, not only the results are there.

Overall, looks good.

Btw, the ESPN acquisition took place 2 years ago. Even in the old side ESPN’s logo was apparent at the top. Now the whole branding seems to have kicked in.
