Formats

We are pleased to accept contributions in any form that you may wish to send. We would prefer, however, if you can do as much formatting for us as possible. Articles are best sent as text files, with no more than 63 characters/ line. Sources must be identified in the following format:-
Source :: AN Other

Idenfication of sources is important so that we can trace copyright. Please check our copyright guidelines before submitting articles (scorecards and statistics are not copyright, although the original source should be identified).

Our scorecards are in a standard format, and if you are entering a card from scratch, the closer you can get to this the better. Some utilities for assisting in this can be found in the software area of CricInfo, and we also have a guide and examples available.
