In a significant change from the recent disputes over payments, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has announced a pay hike of significant proportions to the national players

South Africa offie Johan Botha was reported for a suspected bowling action after the fourth ODI against Australia.

A criminal case was filed in a court accusing MS Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh with 'hurting' fans by staying away from the Padma awards function.

Shane Warne's midas touch to minnows Rajasthan Royals in the inaugural IPL season may be a part of cricketing folklore but a new book reveals that the Australian spin legend was not the original choice for captaincy.

The series has been decided and it will be the last match of a long tour but for several players there's plenty at stake in this Friday's one-day international against South Africa in Johannesburg.

I don't know how owners of large department stores that make you wind your way past things that they want you to see feel about doing so, but I feel a bit sheepish about luring you in with this headline. Though it does not lie, Harbhajan and Symonds are only bit players in this piece: the main agenda is something else.

Now that I have secured your attention, allow me you lead you on to a brand new section on Cricinfo. Unlike department stores, I won't guarantee satisfaction, but I have a hunch it will bring a smile to your face.

You have two choices. You can click on this link to check out the section right away and then come back read this if you need to. Or you can read on and explore later.

I recommend the second option.

So let me tell you what Page 2 is all about.

To start with, it will not have news and scores, which form the core of Page 1, otherwise known as the homepage. It will have elements of opinion, a blog or two, lists, games, byte-sized features, and even "stats" - though unlike the ones you have seen on Cricinfo.

With Page 2, Cricinfo is venturing into new territory. And after having put it together we are now wondering why we waited so long. It is no coincidence, however, that it is being launched during the IPL: Page 2 mirrors Twenty20.

Twenty20 was born out of a strikingly simple idea. It stripped cricket of all its adornment - and even character, it can be argued - to pursue one objective: entertainment. You could say that it reduced a grand game to a merely entertaining one. But in doing so, it has opened up a new world, and the sport is richer for it. It is a tribute to cricket that it can accommodate three
distinct forms.

By the same token, Page 2 makes no apologies about making entertainment its sole objective. It is not a deviation from our core values, but rather an expansion of our range. Cricinfo has always been, and will remain, a serious site for serious fans. But like Twenty20 itself, Page 2 will serve as an aperitif to a substantial main course.

Even though its scope is currently limited to the IPL, there is a lot to sample. Try out The CV, our alternative player profiles, or Quick Singles, where cricketers provide glimpses into their lives off the field as well as on it.

In Hit or Miss, poet, dancer and soon-to-be novelist Tishani Doshi will offer daily meditations on a love that she is hoping to reignite (with cricket, lest you get ideas), and in The Daily
Dose our reporters at the venues will bring you the sidelights from South Africa.

If you still didn't believe that the IPL has changed everything, try this new cricket dictionary, by Andy Zaltzman, of The Confectionery Stall fame. And for further evidence, sample Rules from Hell, inspired by the various edicts of He Who Must Not Be Named.

In You Asked For It you will find rubbish answers to questions our other q&a columnists on the site, Geoff Boycott and Steven Lynch, would dismiss out of hand.

Bowlers who are not familiar with to South African conditions will face tough challenge of adapting to the bouncy pitches here during the second season of the Indian Premier League, feels Mumbai Indians mentor Shaun Pollock.

Perhaps it's just calm before the storm, but it seems as though there's not enough buzz around the Indian Premier League's (IPL) organisation in South Africa. With only four days to go, you would expect administrators to be caught up in a whirlwind of doc
