Graham McKechnie CricInfo.com, the world's leading cricket web site, registered 100.6 million page impressions in October, breaking its previous highest total of 95.5 million. Although there were no Test Matches in October, it was a busy month for cricket, with a total of 25 One-Day Internationals, including the ICC KnockOut in Kenya. During this tournament CricInfo recorded its single busiest day, when 11.7 million page impressions were registered for the semi-final match between India and South Africa. Simon King, CricInfo's Chief Executive said: "Registering more than 100 million page impressions in a month is quite an achievement for all the CricInfo team. It has required a lot of work to keep the site fresh and innovative and ahead of the field. It's growing popularity and success suggests that we're getting it right. "But there's no respite for us over the next few months. With tours such as England's to Pakistan, West Indies' to Australia, Sri Lanka's to South Africa and the CricInfo Women's World Cup in New Zealand it's going to be busier than ever."
