    not bad. colors are a little bright, but im guessing that it has to do with team colors or something. pages load quickly. couple things that i noticed was in the slideshow on the main page, the pictures keep shifting over more and more where you see more and more of the previous picture. also, on the games page, cant tell if the pictures of the games are cut off because of the way that they are shifted to the left. might look better if they can be centered. other than that, looks good.

    Hi

    I have looked at the website and love the bright colours - makes it inviting and interesting without even starting.

    My preference would be to have the navigation running left to right across the top, or sectioned over to the left hand side - seems to appear as a balck bar across the top with a list going down. (sorry for not knowing the technical terms).

    Only main point is on the front page - I like a full but not over busy page so wondered if an image could be used to pulg gaps around the text.

    Hope this helps

    I like the site and the charicature looks good too, the blue is a little bit in your face maybe tone the blue down to a darker less striking blue and im a little unsure about the sl cricket badge you have, im confused what the splattered paint has to do with cricket? perhaps you could incorporate cricket theme into your badge too

    Hi ,

    I'm not an expert in how to build sites so can only judge from a user point of view but seems fine to me; pages load very quickly and while colours are bright they do not in anyway affect viewing text or resolution and after all they are the SL colours.

    I'm a big cricket fan and found the info on their fresh and current ... also as mentioned by others loved the Sanga caricature.

    Excellent website ... stored in my favourites for future browsing :)

    Have you heard that CONTENT IS KEY?

    What that mean is, you need to have original content which makes you interesting. You dont!

    I did a quick search and found more than 95% of your content is copied from Island Cricket.

    That's not good.

    Because you are using Blogger, the owners of the content can report you and Google, who own Blogger, will shut you down. And there goes all your time and effort!

    Hi,

    Not much of a cricket fan but on reviewing your website i'd agree with some of the other comments that the colours are a little bright and off-putting. But....most importantly......I really agree with RFJ regarding the above content.....I have previously established and maintained two blogs discussing UK politics and I found that having fresh and updated content was key in generating unique and frequent visitors. I did, from time to time, fall into the trap of regurgitating content from elsewhere on the web, but if you're not explicitly saying that your blog/website is an "aggregate" of cricket news across the web then you could fall into issues re: copyright........

    Hi,
    your site looks good, plenty of information. slideshows on the home page need to be a bit better formatted as the previous picture can still be seen when the new one shows. Apart from that well done.

    Hi
    I like the colours, made it clear to read. The quick news link to twitter is good as well. The only down comment would be the news moves too quickly, some of it I didnt finish reading x

    I have had a look.

    As I scroll down the pages I find the page layout confuses me abit, perhaps lining things up would help?
    Can I suggest changing the blue in the background and making it either White or light green (like a cricket pitch) just to soften it up a bit!?

    Otherwise it looks pretty good.

    Good looking site but the pictures and layout at the bottom are a little messy and would look much better with a simple frame round the pictures in order to break them up from the bright colours or even if they had a raised effect!
