ooooo, nice.
good work King Cricket webteam (I’m looking at you oblong)
Nice shading on the banner. Ooh, the cricket ball says “KC” on it! Am I too easily pleased? Probably.
Bloody hell.. This is all grown up, like I should be…. You’ve made me feel like I’m ten years old again!
Ah, off to play army in the woods with sticks.. Those were the days, none of those fancy WEE’s when I were a lad.. The only wee’s we ever did were in a camp, that had a hole, called the piss and shit middle bit.
I was a 10yr old rebel, as you can probably gather from my off the cuff use of foul and abusive language.
Oops, I better make sure my mum’s not reading this, or I’ll be sent to bed with no supper, and I’ll have my transformers confiscated. And that would not be wicked.
Also, instead of this “Your comment is awaiting moderation” rubbish, could it not be changed to “awaiting decision from the video umpire/3rd umpire), or some such?
That’s a mighty good suggestion, Suave. Consider it implemented.
Very nice, but I feel the need to check – will the Blue Box be making an appearance on this swish new site? It’s the reason I visit.
I’ve never commented before, but that was worth waiting for wasn’t it?
You think I’d go to all this trouble only to renounce the blue box?
The blue box is raring to go.
I dunno; where are the animated .gifs? The marquee text? This pastel tastefulness violates all known principles of good design. You know what I’m talking about.
A veritable internet drive through the covers.
As long as this new fangled upgrade doesn’t lead to any actual analysis of cricket, then I’m happy enough.
I don’t like it
Ooh I say, as Richie Benaud used to say.
Oh bugger. It was Dan Maskell.
Ackk.
Oh well. Still liking the nice new grown up site anyway. Surprised there are no pics/shrines for Mr Key, though…
Oooooooooooooh.
Aaaaaaaaaaah.

I don’t know the answers to the things in the Subscribe section…how do I choose a reader for example?
Rosie from Melbourne
…it says to put my name, but I don’t want it to appear in full in case my past catches up with me…
Try this page Rosie.
If you’ve got Firefox, click ‘subscribe using live bookmarks’ and it’ll appear in your favourites, listing all the post titles when you hover over it and showing you at a glance if we’ve updated.
If you’ve got a newer version of Internet Explorer it’ll have a ‘subscribe’ option at the top of the page that will accomplish much the same thing.
We should probably try and make this easier. We’ll have a look at some proper sites and see what they do and then maybe copy them.
Congrats on the move. It must be a great feeling to be all grown up in the big bad world.
