Cricinfo gears up for record-breaking Pakistan v India series

Posted by Andrew Hall

Cricinfo will be pulling out all the stops over the next six weeks to provide the most complete internet coverage of any series ever.

Cricinfo's trademark ball-by-ball scorecards and renowned text commentary will be delivered in his own inimitable style by award-winning writer (and text commentary specialist) Anand Vasu.

Up to the minute news updates and features will be overseen by Cricinfo editor Sambit Bal and delivered by correspondents on tour with the team: Pakistan correspondent Osman Samiuddin is in Lahore for the first Test alongside Indian counterpart Siddhartha Vaidyanathan. The editorial teams in Mumbai and London will deliver comprehensive news, features and analysis, while statistician S. Rajesh will contribute daily stats and landmarks throughout the series.

Live audio commentary will be available via Cricinfo Radio. Subscribers who sign up to the unofficial commentary by the end of the first day's play can listen to the Test and One-Day series for the discounted price of $9.99. Audio match reports will also be available at the end of each day's play.

Former Indian captain Ravi Shastri is on the team for Cricinfo's new Mobile service. Users in India can listen to Ravi's audio reports throughout the day's play by clicking here or get on-demand score updates by texting 'ckt' to 6365. Users outside India can get wicket alerts and updates via Crictxt.

Partners Willow.tv have recently announced that they will be providing live streaming video worldwide. The stream will also be re-broadcast at 10am pst the next day.

Cricinfo's Pakistan v India series site is the page to bookmark for the ultimate in internet coverage.

Cricinfo's Chief Executive Tom Gleeson is confident that records will be broken.

"We expect record audiences for this series. We've made a lot of positive changes since the last series, both in terms of editorial coverage and enhanced products and services. The site is also faster than ever, and we are confident of big audiences if the series is as competitive and exciting as everyone around the world expects."
