It looks lovely!!!

Very new modern, space-age like.

I thought you were doing something like that, coz for a couple of hours today, I couldnt get in, and was kept getting asked for User ID and password.

Cheers Kenny

Hehe - the site was actually down for 10 hours, 42 minutes and something seconds

 

[Cloete]

I think it's excellent! It's very clean and clear and easy to navigate around. Also it looks very professional!

Great work!

u got to add preview of the upcoming series(Aus vs NZ , Ind vs Pak etc) in the front page rather than having the old series preview!!!!

Just a suggestion

But the looks of the front page are far far better than cricinfo

Yes I agree with you 110%.

We're always trying to improve the turn over of news and feature articles on the frontpage but unfortunately with a fairly small team like ours not everything can be done at once.

This is of course something we're trying to improve upon and the more quality writers who join the team the easier it becomes

The new design is very good. It is neat and can help in some one checking out the site regularly for news.

But the key is on updating news and carrying features/articles for keeping readers on the site.

Also the extensive research being done on the grounds, a small link to the groun infos on the main page and player profiles would be useful, even though they exist in the country pages.

Good effort. Much appreciated.

Certianly was

The last design we didn't really consider other browsers, due to the fact that a year and a half ago over 97% of Internet users were IE.

However knowing that alot of our users now use alternatives and the fact that IE is starting to lose some of it's users (Firefox plans for 10% of the market by the end of 2005, currently 7%) we made a big effort to get the site working perfectly in IE, Firefox (and the others in the range) and also opera.

 

[NikhilN]

[age_master]
