wtf just happened to cricinfo

[Spark]

i'm confused and scared

Turned into the same format as all the other ESPN sites.

RIP the only cricket site that was set up for cricket fans.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What??????

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Cricbuzz> Cricinfo

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh no....I just checked.

I hate this.

Now, it is US-owned

 

[ajdude]

i haven't seen the desktop site but it looks like they might've finally produced a usable mobile site at least

I don't like that lack of bolded FOUR and SIX and OUT

They don't even have (e.g.) AN Cook c de Kock b Philander 7 at the end of the commentary for when a wicket falls any more (is that the format it was in, I'm already hazy on it)

 

[Howe_zat]

yeah it's just a case of finally taking away the last reason you ever went to the cricinfo home page, as oppose to any news site - the 'info' bit is gone

statsguru still exists, despite their best effort to hide it. will bookmark. bbc comfortably ahead in everything else now

Wankers. This should be some sort of case-study in how to **** up a good thing.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Need more color in the match engine.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It was already an abomination, I don't even know what to call it now.

 

[Heboric]

I was wondering when the new Switch Hit was coming, I guess with the new layout and all it wont be happening

 

[honestbharani]

Crapinfo gonna crapinfo.

 

[fredfertang]

Cricketarchive goes behind a paywall and now this disaster - still looking on the bright side it might increase demand for old Wisdens

 

[vcs]

It doesn't even auto-refresh.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

On the plus side, both cricket and baseball coexist.

 

[weeman27bob]

Trying to follow along with a match is terrible. They've just dumped all the information on one page, rather than making it sensible to follow.

 

[Pratters]

I didn't even visit it regularly for the last year or so.

 

[fredfertang]

As far as I can see according to cricinfo Test cricket didn't begin until 2003 - bye bye Bradman, and indeed TOTAB
