Fantasy Cricket is back! Give Feedback Here

[MattW]

Matt, I can set up a google spreadsheet so that everyone can collaborate on that.
Regarding the cricinfo ID, I had looked at their scorecards earlier, and there doesn't seem to be any links with the IDs in the scorecards. A quick search later, I found cricbuzz.com using the IDs in their scorecards, and also, they were in a nice tabular form, which may make it easier for us to extract the scores automatically.

Do you know where the YQL player IDs come from? Considering that has a direct data feed for scorecards that might be the easiest one to implement.

I'm not attached to a particular provider, just as long as it'd be flexible enough into the future.

Yes that's it! YQL, thanks. I had looked it up long time back, but couldn't remember what it was called.
I found a cricket scores database in there, and downloaded some documentation which pertained to what we need, but my computer's crashed, and right now I have no way to access it unfortunately. I'll see if I can find the docs again.

I wouldn't be too concerned about whether there is a feed, or we have to extract data, both involve similar work.

YQL Console
This is probably what we're looking for..

Yahoo Cricket
If we look at this link, the 3675 at the end of AB's name is the player ID. I'll see if the player can be accessed directly using this ID, without using the name.

Okay, that Yahoo stuff looks good, I've amended the spreadsheet on Google Docs, so if anyone wants to help get Fantasy Cricket happening, fill out as much of that as you can

It is very confusing very hard dont have time to find email id of cricketers

Firstly, try not to break the rules over unnecessary use of the mention system and secondly there is no need for formatting - I need the three letter abbreviation of the country as listed on the first sheet.

I need data, not a fancy layout.

That is not the email id, it is the yahoo cricket id id as exampled by Abhas on Pg 3.

I need the three letter abbreviation for the fantasy cricket system - putting in the whole team name means I need to edit it back to the abbreviation before putting it in the database.
