Domestic
While most cricket sites today cover all or at least all major international matches, ESPNcricinfo is one of the few that offers comprehensive coverage of domestic cricket around the world. Domestic scorecards are available for virtually all seasons, and match reports and round-ups for the last decade. Since 2012, match days in the County Championship and the Ranji Trophy are also covered on a live blog.
Dougie
In 1992, an open-source scoring software called dougie, programmed by a graduate student, Jaques de Villiers, became the foundation for providing live coverage for cricket matches, first on the Usenet group rec.sport.cricket and later on Cricinfo. De Villiers named the programme after South African scorer Dougie Etlinger. The software was used exclusively for scoring by Cricinfo till the Cricinfo Live Scoring software was introduced. Dougie is still in operation and is used mostly to score games covered from the ground, and it doubles up as a back-up for CLS.
