A New Look for Cricket.com

Posted by Ankur Nagpal

In the first step on a long journey to becoming the future home of cricket on the Internet, we're pleased to announce that cricket.com has a brand new look and fresh editorial content updated several times a week. Staying true to the global nature of the sport, we're delighted to welcome the Sri-Lankan born, English educated, Australian resident Michael Jeh "Fox" as the inaugural member of our editorial team. In addition to being a professional first-class cricketer, Michael has worked with some of the biggest names in modern cricket as a mentor to elite athletes in Queensland and will be lending his insight and expertise to the cricket.com blog.

This is however just the beginning - with a tremendously exciting cricket season ahead of us, we hope to release a slew of new features in the next few weeks that includes India's tour of Sri Lanka and South Africa's tour of England in the build-up to the largest international cricket tournament outside of the World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy. Stay tuned and if you haven't already - check out the new and improved cricket.com!

    difficult to read the blogs.

    larger font on a white background would be preferable.

    Hey Carl,

    Thanks for the feedback. We've increased the font size to make it easier to read and we agree that a light background would make it easier to digest the text content - we're working on this now.

    Thanks and please share any other thoughts/suggestions with us.

    Best,

    Harj

    Update: We've also now switched over to a lighter background to make it easier to read the articles.

    Thanks,

    Harj

    A couple things... First, it's nice that we can leave comments for you and see the changes appear in the website.

    Second, with the lighter background I would make the green text a darker shade of green. It's a bit too light against the white. Also, it appears the blog comments are sorted from oldest to newest. I would reverse that so that the newest appear first. Reason being, as a visitor I'm going to be more inclined to leave a comment if it's going to appear at the top rather than buried under a pile of old comments.

    Thanks and keep it up.
