There are dozens of cricket blogs on the web, offering views on the game from all around the world. We've picked our five favourite blogs.

Cric Info Blogs
The variety of these 12 blogs ensure that no major cricketing issue is left undebated, from the viability of hosting India-Pakistan test matches in England to the future of one-day cricket. A must-visit destination for fans of the sport.

The Silly Mid Off
Exiled in New York, thousands of miles from his beloved New Road ground in Worcester, David Mutton devotes his blog to thought-provoking and intelligent observations on the state of cricket. That's when he's not lamenting Worcestershire's catastrophic 2009 season.

Cricket-Blog
JC, the Australian editor of Cricket-Blog, offers persuasive reasons why England won the Ashes. Apparently, Mitchell Johnson's mum is to blame. Perhaps. It's a fun, lively blog proud of its ambition not to be "impartial, informed or even rational". There are contributions from Indian and England fans too.

Eye on Cricket
Brooklyn-based Samir Chopra might be closer to the New York Yankees than the Delhi Daredevils, but his knowledge of Indian cricket is superb and his enthusiasm is infectious. There are many blogs offering an Indian perspective on the game, but this is our favourite.

King Cricket
Home to some no-nonsense views about cricket, with many postings asking some important but hard-to-answer questions such as: "How bad is England's one-day batting?".
