Title: Online scoreboard
Post by: smandlej on October 20, 2016, 12:25:11 PM
We used to have a bookmark of the ECB's Stats page: when you clicked on it, there were the current matches - international and county - displayed as a list and you clicked on the View Scorecard of the match you wanted to look at.  Up came the scorecard, with all the information: who won the toss, the umpires, the batting and bowling and fall of wickets.  Now the ECB has a new website, possibly designed for ease of access from mobile 'phones: you have to go through pages and pages of the site to get all the information which used to be on a single page, and international and county data are in separate sections, so you'd have to do everything twice to look at both types of matches.  Also, it's gone all jazzy and brightly-coloured, with pictures of the players everywhere - is this another of the ECB's ploys to get non-cricket-lovers interested?

Does anyone know of another website where a list of the current matches is displayed and a single click will bring up the scorecard with all the information on it?  Cricinfo isn't bad, but you still have to click again to get the full scorecard rather than the summary one.

You can minimise the Cricinfo scores on your computer toolbar & they tick along quite nicely.

That's what I do at work.

I am also disappointed in the new format on the ECB app. I agree it was easy to find your way around to see all the latest scores .The Sky Sports Cricket app is the other one I use and still has scores easy to find.

They have not updated the ECB app for Android. I used to use it but you can only get the England scores and the wicket alerts don't work. I use espn and bbc website and apps
