The launch in September of The Surfer, CricInfo's first genuine incursion into modern blogging technology, caused quite a buzz in our part of the blogosphere. That was followed in October by Wicket to Wicket, touted as a platform for CricInfo's columnists to discuss topical matters. All very promising, even though they were yet to open the floodgates to public comments.
But why, then, do we still have the cumbersome "diaries" to wade through? Point in question, Andrew Miller's current Pakistan Tour Diary. I can't give you a permalink to the diary home page because there is none. I can link to the "November 7 to November 13" page, which currently has items for the days Nov.7 to 11. Presumably on the 14th they'll start a new page, and so forth. I just hope the links are kept (manually) up to date, as didn't always happen with Gideon Haigh's diary on CricInfo during the Ashes.
Miller's diary is quite interesting, but where is Wisden CricInfo's committment to the blogging technology that would undoubtedly increase it exposure?
