What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 2003
A cricket records site holding player profiles, scorecards and grounds, curated by the statistician Philip Bailey.
Philip Bailey and Peter Griffiths founded it in 2003. It holds data on 1.5 million players, 820,000 scorecards and 15,000 grounds, and added a paywall in 2017.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
