Lots of good stuff at Crickety.com

2007-10-08T08:03:00.000-07:00

A lot has been happening at Crickety.com lately. We have not only reworked the site layout in a major way, but have also created many exciting new features for cricket fans.

New Cricket Features
First, an entire new Crickety Features section is introduced. This will be a permanent fixture featuring new and upcoming features and content. We launched this section with a great new webpage on Satellite images of all major World Cricket stadiums and grounds. The site uses Google's map service to show an aerial snapshot photograph of your favourite cricket stadium. All major cricket playing nations' stadiums and grounds are included. Not only that, there are some important non-test playing regions present, like the UAE, Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, etc. Check it out!

On our main page of the Grounds section, we have listed out all the grounds and stadiums currently being shown, and if you have any additional grounds or stadium's information at hand, please feel free to share!

Cricket Store
Features aside, you might have noticed the spanking new Cricket Store that we now offer as an entirely new addition to Crickety.com. As part of our association with Amazon.com, we are pleased to present two cricket-focused discount online-stores: North American Cricket Store and British store.

For our stores, we have handpicked the best available variety of cricket stuff, not just the finest cricket playing equipment, but also a fantastic selection of cricket gifts for cricket fans! The stores are neatly categorized around the themes of Bats (you'll find a huge collection of the best affordable bats!), Balls, Helmets, Gloves, Pads & Guards, Accessories (must see, some pretty cool stuff for players and fans alike), Clothing & Shoes, Cricket Posters (worth a look, as you will find some incredible cricket art and vintage cricket posters, not to mention team and player posters), Cricket Gifts, Country-specific stuff for fans and players (stickers, flags, tee shirts etc), Games (a great collection of indoor, outdoor and also cricket video games), Cricket Books, Journals & Magazines, Cricket videos & DVDs and more! We encourage you to at least browse through a few categories to see what's in store.

What's more, your entire crickety shopping experience will be Amazon-standard and fully secure! So, no worries. Do check it out.

Live Scores, Video Player and Latest Cricket News box!
Our very first page now also boasts live cricket content. Just fire up Crickety.com in your browser and you will get the currently underway or played match reports, the most interesting user-submitted cricket videos and latest cricket news from all playing nations.

The Crickety Score Card is a live report feed of the major matches being played right now and results from recent fixtures.

The Crickety Video Player is another nifty little addition. It shows you the hottest viewer favourite YouTube videos right there on the spot. Not only that, just a click on the video thumbnail plays that video instantly! Give it a spin!

Then there is our supercool Crickety News Box. It shows you all the latest cricket news, stories and reports not only on what's happening in the overall cricket world, but also has country-specific sections for cricket news from that region. Don't miss it, see it in action!

New look is now finally up and running (and still being improved)! New members have started joining in - though not in as many as desired :( Ah, but it's a humble beginning. Limited number of first 100 members are now being ranked "First 100 Member".

A new cricket trivia thread is on (thanks thirdman!), let's see how it does. If you have even slightest interest in cricket and would like to share a tidbit or two, please don't be shy and join crickety discussions! :)

Also, ahem... a revealing view from a cricket match sidelines (not safe for work, faint-hearted or er... those distracted by flashes!).
