**None of the above! :what: **

I only replied to your views and now you your self pre-concieving my views,:eek:

I think some one has mentioned it already ^ that cricinfo has changed a lot since its early days.

Ps; Pakistan was the winner of 1971 war! It just depends how you view it in the short term perspective and the long run perspective.
No one can tell you to view it from our perspective.

Now! before we go any further, can I ask you for your age-zone ? no pun,

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

I disagree - I think GS is as good a cricket website as anyother. Quite frankly it was the interaction with guppies that made the matches interesting for me.

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

GS isn't a cricketing website, its a discussion forum.
As a discussion forum, its one of the best I have ever come around.

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

Suffice to say that I am currently going through a mid-life crisis. It probably shows in my posts.

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

Kya baat kar rahe ho miyan acrobi, dawn doesn’t update its site until two days after the match. (Of course it is and exaggeration to make a point). I yet have to see dawn or jang updating their sites on the same day of the game. They have a schedule of updating the site once a day and they stick to it.
Cricinfo gets slow during matches and that is understandable, even the streaming we get is two balls behind the gupshup commentary.
Call cricinfo biased but i found it very helpful. Here whenever we have an argument about any cricket statistics we always go to cricinfo and most of the time we get answers.

Don’t we all! :hinna:

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

What's a cricketing website?

I can get scores on demand in GS
I can get expert opinions and articles from number of sources all in GS
I can find discussions on perforamance in GS

In fact most times, the latest score and bbb updates are faster in GS than cricinfo

Why do you think it is not a cricket site? It's what other sites should aspire to be - they are all searching for way to increase INTERACTIVITY. GS has it now.

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

As you guys are saying it look biased probably they are giving more importance due to the high percentage of indian fans logging in.and also as quoted by some1 where do u find a site which gives ball by ball commentary with all the statistics.Its amazing they do it for all the international matches its good for a true cricket lover.

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

as far as live coverage is concerned, cricbuzz (another indian site) is much much faster than cricinfo....

but cricinfo has a much bigger database....

however, both the sites r biased.... :p
cricinfo being more so....

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

It looks like bias to you because you’re a Pak supporter but in reality it’s just a reflection of the reality that we are better!:balley:

Peace

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

this is funny :hehe:

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

yeah we can see, 4-1 is getting to some heads :slight_smile:

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

I agree with you here, the victory gets into heads of lots of people very quickly… True for both sides…if I remember some comments after test matches… So may be people are just letting steam off… :cb:

Re: In praise of CRICINFO !!

^ yep :)
