Cheers for the link, i'll use that one in future. Cricinfo is always hopeless.

CricInfo always takes a while to load for me, so I usually go to BaggyGreen (although they are all linked into each other aren't they?)

Yeah they are, and lately they have been hopeless.

I think this is related to financial problems that Cricinfo has had recently, leading to the launch of Cricinfo plus, where you now have to pay for the fast download server. The rest of us have to make do with the slow as treacle Cricino standard.

It's a real shame because for the cricket fanatic, Cricinfo was the best on the Web.

If the aussie mirror site is experiencing traffic problems, try one of the mirrors in USA, UK, or RSA. I've found that usually works as long as those countries aren't playing a game. (USA goes slow when India is playing)

CricInfo always seems to be slower when Australia and particularly India are playing. Must be their popularity.
