and Gayle ended up winning the vote 75% to 25%. It's somewhat interesting that the public have voted the same 3 of the final 4 (Malinga, Russell and Gayle), only difference is Rohit Sharma (public vote) and Sunil Narine (cricinfo experts). does the public underrate Narine?

does the public underrate Narine?

cricinfo greatest T20 player polls seem to have a few glitches these days. both polls extended. presumably Rohit Sharma is going to win in a canter in both.

The design keeps getting worse and worse.

The design keeps getting worse and worse.

Yeah I've noticed that, every new update they do just makes it worse, it's almost unusable now.

Cricinfo is still good in my opinion, but a good source for stats is also Howstat:

not a whole lot has changed, just rounded the edges and lost the black lines. looks odd after looking at it for so long though.

be interesting to see if one of my annoyances has been altered, the way it automatically scrolls to the most recent part in a test match. people might be seeing the match for the first time online but it scrolls to the 'live' parts of the scorecard.

I wish there was a "country filter" so I could filter out all the India/IPL stories/content.

ok, the more i look the worse it gets

are the batters and bowlers left or right handed, what bowling style? apparently that is irrelevant. it won't even show this info on a mouseover, i have to check their profile. the more useful the information, the less navigation it should need to find - it's a common design misstep

The biggest issue to me is the UX contrast and the thinner typeface they’ve used, especially on the app. The commentary is really hard to read too. I feel for people who are visually impaired because it’s definitely a downgrade. Really bizarre decision tbh.

 

[Bedi]

The amount of time i've wasted having to click on 'Scoreboard' is ridiculous. The 'Live' tab shouldn't be a thing given all info is is available under Scoreboard

Live gives you some immediate commentary though, at least

today noticed: sheffield shield, jack edwards retired hurt and his name disappeared from the cricinfo scorecard. you'll have to go to cricket.com.au to find out how much he scored before he retired.

yeah it's down the very bottom in summary - but yeah great pick up.

also noticed for tasmania 2nd innings o'connor is listed (substituting for bell) yet bell is still listed to bat and no sign on meredith on the batting scorecard for the 2nd innings.
