Yahoo! slips the googly to Google

It was the battle of the search engines at Lord's last Friday, as Google and Yahoo! went head-to-head according to a report at MarketingWeek:

By the time the first ball was bowled in the final the Yahoo! crowd had doubled, which was a measure of the support for the company team and nothing to do with the free booze on offer, of course. There was even a Yahoo! bus that blasted out yodelling from a PA whenever the team hit a four or six.

Just like a sentimental sports film, the outcome favoured both teams as the game ended in an honourable draw. And so the internet company battle continues next summer with all three teams seeking ultimate victory.
