The History of Cricinfo

Well worth a read for people who don't know how it came about. It is a remarkable story. http://bluwiki.com/go/CricInfo_History

its a shame after all that, they went corporate (bought by ESPN) and became a media arm of the England Cricket Board. even the indian writers on that site sound nothing more than paid tools to discredit the indian team whenever they win.

Interesting read. This is going to be a weekend read for me. Thanks Gambo!

an interesting history for sure.  cricinfo was good once upon a time, before it morphed into a mindless colorless corporate drone.

Yes. It was damn good in the early days. What a disaster it has become.
