I really don't know why the commentary was designed in such a way that the latest actions are presented last. This means everytime you want to see the latest overs, you have to scroll down. This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Can the editor change the order back to the old way?

Which browser are you using?

I use Firefox, and it doesn't scroll, but it you use Internet Explorer or IE Tab plug-in, you don't need to keep on scrolling.

I really like the commentary before though. I thought it was better designed too. Just my thoughts. It looked better too.

Exactly my thoughts too. I actually stop follow up games on Cricketworld commentary. I'm over to cricinfo! You all are a follower less JP and I know a couple others too.
In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

Yup I have switched to cricinfo too after it changed. Before that it was cricketworld. I loved it before. It was pleasing to the eyes too.

Better looking it might have been, but it wasn't 100% accurate, and I for one would sacrifice accuracy for aesthetics.

I do understand where you guys are coming from, and we are looking into (as we are constantly) improving site design in all areas, including the live scores area.

Cricketworld was always my number one choice but since things has change on the commentary, it is been cricinfo all the way for me now. The Commentary looks harder to use or follow up on cricketworld now.

yeah JP, it was the design I think. I am just curious how this design makes the commentary 100% accurate but not the other one.

I've confused you - design has nothing to do with the accuracy.

We used to have somebody else providing our live scores, now it's Cricket Archive, along with all the statistics, and player profiles that a number of people on here have been long calling for.

Funnily enough I found CricketWorld through a google search when cricinfo was down one time and have never looked back!
Good one Graham!
