How did you find this blog?

By Will 3 years ago, at the start of September Leave a comment on this post

OK, question: how did you find this blog? I know I was featured on the BBC, along with every other cricket blog, and the Guardian have also ‘found’ us…but nearly 1500 people have come here today, and I haven’t even blogged anything [much]. How is this happening? Who are you, and where do you come from? EXPLAIN YOURSELVES! (seriously…I’d quite like to know, out of curiosity. Did you come from Google, or another search engine, or a blog, or where?)

Ta all, and “hello” to all the new readers.

I can’t remember. Either someone else’s cricket blog linked to yours, or Google.

Definitely the Guardian … I think.

Had only found the official ECB RSS feeds before and was looking for something a bit entertaining as a read!

I am not entirely sure either. I think I googled ‘ashes blog’ some time around the second test, and found yours and daryl’s and put them in my favourites.

Being from Australia I was interested in getting an English view of the Ashes rather than just the stuff in our papers. I linked from a cricket website.

I got fed up with the fact that my web sites have been down for more than 24 hours (apparently the server has crashed and is being replaced and reloaded) and decided to read someone else’s…

Iam from India and happened to accidently venture your blog through some other blog. I came from a blog by an Indian journalist called Prem Panicker, a highly respected and knowledgable man in the Cricketing feternity and otherwise also.His blog is also very entertaining which also includes paper round ups , inside information and the latest buzz. Pls find him at http://prempanix.blogspot.com/. He has lined up a lot of other cricket blogs too.

Keep on writing , you are doing a great job (i know that you know that already)

You’re in this month’s Spin magazine. I bought a copy on Friday, and you’re in there with a comment or two.

Chanced upon the site a little while ago, but forgot about you, and then couldn’t remember the address…the Guardian put me right with its Web Watch feature.

It’s been good fun watching the Tests and leaving comments here, especially given the amazing cricket that there’s been.

I *think* it was when you linked to my comment (’roflmao’) after Aus lost to Bangladesh in the one-dayers.

Google, searching for video streaming at the beginning of the summer.

Loved Amit Varma’s 23 yards and stayed with his blogs when he moved onto other things. Google cricket around the world regularly as I used to - and still sometimes do, write a newsletter for the DCUSA (website is down at the moment). COU kept getting a mention, started to read, saved you onto my favourites and started to contribute as I began to lose fingernails!

Via the venerable Mr.AKR, I think. You’ve been on my blogroll since I put up a blogroll! On second thoughts, it could have been via Ze Rambler (of Sporting Nirvana). Thanks to both those gentlemen!

Spin say: “the most popular and active cricket blog on the net….largely sensible and well informed chatter about matches in progress, and dissect press coverage with considerable sharpness.”

Jammyfan, I do follow all cricket, not just the Ashes. I’ve been blogging since last November so I’ll certainly be carrying on “as usual” after the Ashes. Thanks for everyone’s replies, very interesting to see where you all arrive here from. As the yanks say, “enjoy!” (don’t you hate that?)
