Deeply worried by this

As a widely traveled cricket enthusiast who spends far too much time in uncivilised countries, I have lost count of the number of times I have followed test matches via Cricinfo's unique (and free) service. The only possible upside to Disney's involvement would be if they let Pixar loose on the animated commentary. That might be worth seeing.........

Not many aspects of the internet excited me so much as Cricinfo did, back in the 90's when I found it and was amazed that what I had seen as merely the medium for half-baked opinions and filth could ACTUALLY deliver something astoundingly useful, on the side of my screen, while I worked.......

Disney?

Oh well, Cricinfo is dead, obviously.......
