Are there any cricket fans among drupal nation? I'm not sure if there are any other drupal sites about the sport of cricket. This may be the first. Rain, No Play is a cricket blog mainly from a West Indian perspective. Right now we're doing previews of the teams at the Cricket World Cup in March. The theme is a modified glossy blue theme. Some of the modules we're using include tagadelic, views, cck, jrating, service links, the new bueditor (1 million thanks to the module writer for a WYSIWYG editor that actually works with Drupal 5), Read More Tweak and countdown timer. Let me know what you think.

Really like to look of this site, the colors and the layout... Especially like the use of images...

How did you accomplish the post dates appearing in the calendar images?

Watched cricket on TV a few times, never been able to figure out the rules...

You should make a page with the rules of cricket - and don't be dissing the West Indies! :p Nice site.

I'm an Indian and I reckon I don't have to say more when it comes to cricket.
Nice website !

I can't take credit for the calendar images with the dates. Those come with the theme - Glossyblue.

Removed site due to an increase in spambot activity leading from here. I advice others not to post their links here.

I have put together a site for recording statistics for the noble art of cricket. The site summarises matches (bowling and batting), results, and season/career averages.

I used a combination of the suggestions from adam and tpainton, with content types for players (user referenced to my registered users), team (node referenced to players), matches (node referenced to the two teams involved), batting and bowling. The batting and bowling content uses Views to show the batting and bowling scores for each player during each match.

Like baseball and other sports, cricket is very data intensive, especially in producing averages and totals. I experimented with Computed Field, and Custom Field but eventually used Views Calc to calculate averages per user on the fly as the View is produced. This is dynamic enough for my needs - it is recalculated depending on what is being viewed at the time and works very well for batting and bowling averages, runs per over, strike rates, totals of wides, no-balls etc. and for season averages and performances per player.

It took quite a bit of fiddling about (I'm fairly new to Drupal) but I'm happy with the results.

I am working on a few other features for team management - including an availability system, where players can indicate which matches they are available for, a team selection system (where I can select a team and communicate it back to the players), reminder emails before matches, and maps for location of away matches.
