We will be running articles throughout over the next few months, but for now we start with a day-by-day tour diary covering more than five months on the road, a wealth of photos, a dummy’s guide to Bodyline, a special Quote …Unquote section and much more.

We have revamped Cricinfo's records section with significant improvements.

Some of the new features in this release include:-

- Complete international records by calendar year

- Full international records by ground

- More comprehensive links throughout to player, scorecard, team and series pages

- Full Twenty20 database - both international and domestic

The vast majority of these pages will now be updated live rather than at the end of the game.

Check out Cricinfo's review of cricket in 2006 at our new 2006 year in review site.

You can now search the web direct from Cricinfo. Simply select "the web" and use Cricinfo's normal search box, which appears in the top left and across the bottom of most pages.

Web search facilities are powered by Yahoo Search. Users in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and India will each get local search results relevant to their particular country.

Cricinfo's own internal search facility is also driven from this box, so this is the best way to find players, articles or images anywhere on Cricinfo.

Cricinfo is excited to announce the launch of a new blog, Different Strokes.

Different Strokes is a group blog of a selection of non-professional cricket writers, whose work we have noticed in different places over the last few months, and who have agreed to showcase their skills on this particular platform. They all have their own styles and bring their own perspectives to their writing.

Recently launched is Wicket to Wicket, Cricinfo's discussion blog.

It's rare for people to talk about cricket without argument taking place. Mention a cricketing topic, and opposite points of view spring forth, each passionately advocated and cogently argued. These arguments are part of the fun of following the game. Sitting with friends and arguing about the merits of technology in umpiring, and Dravid v Ganguly, and whether Flintoff is better than Botham is often quite as much fun as watching this great game itself - and we intend to have some of that fun on this blog.

On Wicket to Wicket, cricket writers will, by invitation, get together and discuss stuff. We'll pick issues and ideas that are somewhat nuanced and that generate good discussion. (There'll be no "Is Robert Mugabe good for Zimbabwe?" kind of discussions, for example.) And we'll have fun with them. So click here to find out more.
