oCricket a good start up idea.

Ideas generate when you think. oCricket.com is one such site which I like. I admire the idea which the which the person (owner of oCricket.com) came across.
The site is of BETA version.
oCricket defines itself as "oCricket is a socio-networked site; refreshed, renewed, reengineered and re-everythinged Cricket."
