A quick pointer in case you haven’t noticed. Nick Compton, James Foster and Will Smith are blogging their seasons with Cricinfo. They’re all really up for it, so have a read here.

Links of note from the past 24 hours:

John Morrison’s blog

Further to my last post, John Morrison’s new blog can be found here: CricketMystery.com. Worth bookmarking I reckon. I’m always in favour of writers who rant. Wranters, if you like.
No Comments »Corridor of Uncertainty number plates
By Will last year, at the end of October, No Comments; be the first!
“I know that you’re a bit hard up for money to keep the blog going,” Hammy writes, “but to sell number plates relating to your blog? Really. Taken in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve been waiting for ages for the COU number plate to arrive and took a photo of the first one that I came across.”
Not guilty, m’lud. Donations and/or free hosting and/or beer and chocolate gratefully received though.

Arun Kale has been beavering away designing the new theme for The Corridor, which you can now see. Huge congrats and thanks to him and we hope you’re as pleased as we are. It’s fresh, new, simple and pretty cool. Thoughts (even complaints) welcome.
9 Comments »Cricket = action = art
By Will last year, at the end of May, 3 Comments »
An interesting new blog I’ve been reading run by a New Zealander, Marty, who is photoshopping cricket photos. The blog? “Cricket = action = art”. There are now a hell of a lot of cricket blogs out there, all doing pretty much the same thing, so it’s encouraging to see someone concentrate on a different topic and angle. Here’s one he did of Prior
Infatuated by Robert Key
By Will last year, mid-May, 2 Comments »
King Cricket is mad as a box of frogs. Insane. His blog is required reading for this fact alone, though his increasing infatuation with Robert Key suggests the men in white (no, not the umpires) will come a’knockin’ quite soon.
The above photo is actually a brilliant piece of photoshoppage from Mike, who’s done similar excellent wizardry before.
Less adept but even funnier is this attempt:
Box. Frogs. Lots of both.
2 Comments »Brit Blog Awards 2007
By Will last year, mid-April, 8 Comments »
Apparently I’ve been nominated in the Sport category of the not-too-famous Brit Blog Awards 2007. Thanks to whoever voted or nominated me. According to Chris from the PR firm representing Ask and Metro, “the BOBB’s were launched earlier in the year and are designed to discover the most talented wrtiers in the blogosphere”. I shouldn’t laugh, but that typo did make me chuckle…
Alastair Cook is one of the judges…so I hope he wasn’t put off by anything I’ve said here, nor by the comments from you angry fans. Behave yourselves.
The big question remains as yet unanswered: what do I win if I win?

Andrew Miller is blogging the opening ceremony of the World Cup. So go read it now.
6 Comments »King Cricket
By Will last year, at the start of March, 2 Comments »
I’ve mentioned King Cricket’s blog before, but a fresh link is well overdue. It’s in my top-three and easily one of the most tongue-in-cheek blogs around. V good I reckon (or should that be we reckon!). From it comes the news Anthony McGrath is well in excess of 120 years old.
The return of Caribbean Cricket
By Will last year, at the end of January, No Comments; be the first!
No, sadly I don’t have the answer to the Caribbean’s descent into oblivion, nor any exciting news of its regeneration. This is just a reminder that Ryan Narine’s CaribbeanCricket.com and blog are both back in the land of the living which, if nothing else, is the best news West Indies cricket has had in months. Check out both and keep reading.
It is, as Tony Cozier said the other day, an “intimately informed” website and required reading for anyone interested in cricket.
With that good news comes another depressing comment, this time from Tony Becca.

More blogs!
By Scott 2 years ago, at the start of December, 11 Comments »
Ah, there’s nothing like a good cricket blog.
I need to make a list of good cricket blogs. If you have one, or know of one, let us know in the comments.
My current favourite is “The Reverse Swing Manifesto“, not least for posting this on Saturday:

End of an Era?
I wouldn’t tempt fate by suggesting it myself - not half way through a crucial test match for heaven’s sake - but I’m happy to let others state their point of view - especially when it coincides with mine. For example…
You have to appreciate top shelf mozzing like that.

Ramnaresh Sarwan and Chris Gayle are blogging their Champions Trophy thoughts at Cricinfo, which is worth keeping an eye on. See here.

No, not that Imran - West Indies’ media manager Imran. He’s a bit of a photographer and is in India for the Champions Trophy, taking snaps on his time off.
