Top 20 Cricket Blogs: 16 - The Corridor / @mailliw & @Rich_Abbott

 
Former Assistant Editor of Cricinfo, Will Luke started The Corridor (a cricket blog) way back in 2004, which (probably) makes it the oldest genuine cricket blog around. In other words, The Corridor is the W.G Grace of cricket blogs - the pioneer.

Although the number of posts have tailed off in recent times (otherwise The Corridor would be much higher in our list) even with the acquisition of excellent co-writer Rich Abbott, the quality is invariably high with the sometimes strong opinions carefully well argued.

Will announced in May that he was taking a ‘break’ from the site, which will be a great shame. However, given that only a while later he wrote an excellent post on Fire in Babylon, it may well be that The Corridor will be around for some time yet.

Test Cricket should not lose it's importance.

Thanks very much mate, really appreciate it. Things have been manically busy over here - which I'm sure u can identify with, even though your output is always impressively prolofic! - so we haven't been writing half as much as we'd like. But looking to getting back into it asap.

Cheers for the article, and keep up your sterling work. All the best for the move back over here!

Thanks Rich - it's bedlam at the moment so it's lucky I prepared this feature a few weeks back!

Dear Sir,

I've been checking out your blog for some time now, and really like the content. Hope to continue to see some quality articles from you.

I, too, am part of a cricket blog / portal which now has 7-10 writers. I wanted to establish a relationship between our blogs, and share each others links. Our blog's name is Third Man Cricket and can be found at:

www.thirdmancricket.com

Our philosophy is that we are a no-nonsense, straight-from-the-heart opinionated cricket portal, wishing to provide our readers with a third person's point of view of the game (the first being the players, the second the followers of the game). Apart from our cricketing insight, we also have some interesting articles on cricket culture and banter mixed in for good measure.

This week, we are launching a special edition "Brian Lara Week", which includes excerpts from a special, in-depth 2 hour interview with the man himself. Do stop by to check it out, and leave us your comments!
