Gary Poster, with essential assists from Galyn Norwood, Phiroon Phihakendr, Jose Quijada, Pavandeep Kalra. And when you have people like Rupert Murdoch, one of the world's content kings, virtually saying that the Net is bunk, there's not much hope out there for fresh information via the Net. I'm of the first variety and have been following my favorite sport via Cricinfo for five years.
Cricket is the perfect sport for the statistics-obsessed.
And Cricinfo delivers. The time it takes to bowl each ball is the time it takes for the average browser to refresh. Thus you get fresh information every time you click in, effectively following the game in real time, which is great if you are a cricket fan in a place like North America where it's not a big sport. I did back in 1996 and I've been a loyal follower ever since. Cricinfo is the creation of a team of Brits who rightly decided that their sport was being overlooked by electronic media.
