Island Cricket

Island Cricket was launched in December of 2008. The website is a Sri Lanka cricket site that is partly-powered by fan-submitted content. Island Cricket provides Sri Lanka cricket fans with the opportunity to go beyond the playing field and to get closer to their sports idols, with behind the scenes content of Sri Lankan cricketers off the playing field and more.

With fans earning badges and points (called runs) for submitting content, sharing content they own and curating content from around the web has become addictive.
