ESPN acquires Cricinfo

Change is the only constant, they say. However one wishes it should not apply to Cricinfo, the premier cricket website. When Cricinfo writes, it doesn't seem as if words have been woven into something that is of mere rhetoric value. When Cricinfo comments, it doesn't seem as if some self-important busybody is sermonising. The passion and true love for the great game shine through in everything that these guys dish out. Now that this site started by amateurs has been acquired by the sports media powerhouse ESPN, one fears as to whether that same passion, that same love will shine through the prism of commercialism. Please guys whatever you do, don'y fall prey to the pulls and pressures that will be an inevitable consequence of being part of one of the world's biggest media networks. All the best!
