Cricinfo - the No1 cricket website

Contributed this to another blog on June 11, 2007:

Today's hot news - cricinfo.com being bought by ESPN. As you all know cricinfo is one of the premier cricketing sites - established very early - had its origins dating back to 1993 - and is very popular even today - its is the undisputed No 1. cricketing website today.

Am always a Great fan of Cricinfo. During the initial years of its usage was surprised to find out that an Indian is behind its operations. Yes, the bulk of the cricinfo can be credited to Badri Seshadri - an IIT ian of our age (passed out 1989 or 1990 I guess), Salem native - very passionate guy of cricket. He is the guy who is credited for the script which gives the ball-by-ball commentary. During the early days, the scores used to come from the ground to IRC chat and then to cricinfo website. Now I guess they use more direct way of feeding the data. Great coverage, excellent data, indepth news and comments - an avid cricket fan cannot ask more than this.

Initially Sify had a stake, then wisden was running it for four years and now ESPN. Guess cricnfo will get better and better. The only thing that saddens me is the non-association of Badri in all these evolution of cricinfo.
