My name is Nicholas Alphonso and I am a 21 years old. I live in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. I have done my electronics engineering from Bombay University.
Contrary to what you might expect, I am not a professional cricket player. I didn't know much about cricket till I was 13! I picked up the rules and regulations at that time during the 1996 Cricket world cup.
I made this site as a hobby. I wanted to explain the rules and regulations of cricket. This was in 2000. I made an 8 page Word document on cricket. I casually converted this into HTML and put it up online. I didn't think much of it till I received an email thanking me for putting up such an informative site.
I then researched if there were sites explaining cricket. Finding a dearth of such sites, I improved on this site. In late 2002, I made a complete overhaul of the site. Around the world cup (March 2003), the next major update was introduced bringing in more images. Subsequent updates were mainly changes in the code structure, redesigning it to load faster.
Some of the other sports I like to watch are football (soccer), tennis and Formula-1.
