I am making my cricket website & I would like to know if there is way to put live cricket score on my website like cricinfo ?

Any way to keep all at 1 place ?

Another option would be to check for free WebServices in internet and make use of it.. Category: Cricket
In Coachs Killing, Suspicions Turn to Crickets Dark Side
Cricket, especially that rambunctious form of the sport practiced in the Caribbean, has always been about far more than the ball, the wickets and the smartly dressed men standing out in the sun.

What software language is used for Cricinfo site ?
I am surprised that as soon as a balls is bowled and a run taken, data in various tables and queries in the website Cricinfo is updated on a live basis whereas many other sites need a day to do the same. What is the software that is used ? Is it a Java or Java Plus or Crystal Report ? Any young software cricket enthusiast may describe.

I checked the code. It is Javascript with XHTML 1.0 Transitional... thats being used.

Which site has the best cricket scorecard design?
I find Cricinfos font too small. Know of any well designed scorecard in which scores of team and batsmen are visible easily?
Answer: Cricinfo is good, but if you find it too small you can zoom in on the site a bit to get larger text, as you can with any web page.
You should find that in the bottom right hand corner of your screen is a magnifying glass icon, with '100%' next to it. Click on that and the font will become larger. Category: Cricket

What do you rate as the greatest innings by a batsman on the losing side?
Many of the greatest innings in Test history have been played out on the losing side. Two that deserve special mention are the 142 and 199* scored by Andy Flower against South Africa in 2001, when he virtually stood alone against the Proteas: http://content.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/63949.html
What do you rate as the greatest innings by a batsman on the losing side?
Answer: Allan Border's 62 not out at the MCG in 1982. I've never seen a batsman in worse form than Border, he had made only 245 runs in his last 15 innings and even his biggest fans were starting to question why he was still being selected. At the fall of the 9th wicket Australia required 74 to win, Border and Thomson survived for about 30 overs and just missed winning the Test and the Ashes by 3 runs.
How many times you have seen a batsman Virtually ending the career of a bowler?
Or a Bowler giving a career ending performance. A performance after which the particular bowler never got selected to play international cricket.
I remember a bowler named Davis or something from New zealand got hammered by Sachin in 1997 and never played ODIs again.And his return in Test cricket after 4 months was Negligible (as I see on cricinfo).
Do you remember any other such performances?
Answer: I can recall that Saqlain Mustaq's test career met an unexpected end after one bad performance against India. He was recalled to the team after a gap of 6 months, but Sehwag (in the company of Tendulkar) made sure that was his last test. (This was his last test: http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64081.html ) Category: Cricket
Cricinfo editor said Sri Lanka maybe favorite for world cup. Then why did they lose to Pakistan?
I dont think SL will reach beyond quarter finals at most. if they were favorite like the cricinfo editor said, they would not concede a heavy total of 277. And then would not succumb to Afridi bowling. Afridi isnt even a regular bowler.
Answer: Well they still remain one of the favorite. Pakistan played better game. It is to be seen, being mercurial would they maintain this standard. Secondly middle order of Lankan batting muddled. Still SL recovered well to loose by 11 runs as the run rate required was 8.32+ per over. The battle is not won till the last of the league match. Category: Cricket
Why is Botha being released from the central contract and allowed to captain South Australia?
IMO, he still has some years left in international cricket and has done reasonably well for SA in T20s and ODIs. Then why is he allowed to captain South Australia? I read somewhere (may be in Cricinfo) that its his international career farewell after the WC. Does that mean hell never play for SA again?
Answer: This is the first I've heard about it & I can only surmise he has passed his use by date as far as the SACB is concerned.But their loss is the Redbacks gain I suppose. Category: Cricket
Do you agree with cricinfo senior editor Sharda Ugra about DRS?
That the BCCIs opposition to the review system is inexcusable; and the ICC isnt blameless either.
See the article in cricinfo. Very interesting and informative reading which explodes the BCCI myths about DRS. edit @ sundaroc...indeed it was good to read that only Dhoni is out of step and of course the BCCI!
Answer: I still continue to wonder over the BCCI's reluctance to embrace the technology and the ICC not implementing it as compulsory. Category: Cricket
