The Surfer begins

Welcome to The Surfer.

It was inevitable, sooner or later, that Cricinfo would start its own blogs. In the first of a series of them, we present The Surfer. This blog, as the name indicates, will aim to showcase interesting cricket writing across the internet. These will encompass features, interviews, opinion pieces, debates -- anything that we find stimulating reading.

The Surfer will replace our popular feature, Best of the Web, as it does what that did and more. It will be managed by Siddhartha Vaidyanathan, Jenny Thompson and Peter English, with occasional guidance and help from Amit Varma. We hope you enjoy it. Feel free to email your feedback to surfer@cricinfo.com.

And watch out for our other blogs, coming soon.
