In what could only be termed a DUMB move, Cricket bible publishers Wisden have sold their highly popular CricInfo website to ESPN.
Their strategy calls for selling the golden goose, the popular CricInfo site, and instead focussing on their “Hawk-Eye sports technology business in cricket, tennis and a growing range of other sports”.
They’ve traded seven million clicks per month (and a massive future) for a couple of beeps per tournament. Sheesh.
