CricInfo.com, the world's leading cricket web site and host of the official web site of the ACB (www.baggygreen.com.au), has announced its new line up for the coming Australian season. Six new columnists for the 2000 season will be writing for the site, including players from each of the state sides. As well as comprehensive live coverage of all international matches, Australian cricket followers will be able to follow more domestic matches than ever before, from state to grade.

The new team of columnists will include Andrew Bichel (Queensland), Stuart MacGill (New South Wales), Matthew Mott (Victoria), Paul Wilson (South Australia), Mike Hussey (Western Australia). Jamie Cox (Tasmania), who spent the winter writing for CricInfo as Somerset captain, also joins the baggygreen team.

The live coverage of matches found on baggygreen, which previously covered all Australian first class matches, has been expanded to include Women's National League and the ACB Cup. The archive has been developed and given greater accessibility, with the addition of graphics, a new search tool and even more in-depth first class statistics and a domestic one-day archive.
