About Us...

Criccontest.com, launched in the month of March 2000 is by now, the favourite site of cricket lovers. Getting its users from all walks of life, from the teeny-bopper college going student who would like to boast it in front of his peers, to the smart executive who sneakingly surfs the site without letting his boss know about it, to the housewife who thinks of winning some cool free coupons to bask in her shopping spree. The motto that runs deep in the veins of the Criccontest team is to provide fun, contest and loads info to its valuable users. What sets it apart from the peer sites is that it is the first and perhaps the only dedicated cricket contest portal of the world.

Criccontest.com, a dedication to the cricket fanaticism all over the world is a brainchild of Anoop Wadhwa, a cricket-nutt himself, who has all the matches and their stats on his finger tips like a child who mugs up for his examination. He hasn't greyed his hair with age but cricket, cricket and just cricket. His passion for cricket is simply unbeatable. Can give a complex to any other person claiming to be the greatest Kapil Dev fan ever. Like-minded Cricket Buffs like you may surely relate to Criccontest.com. Cricket surely doesn't get better than this.

Wanna know, who all are behind the success of the site, yearning to bring to you the best and the most comprehensive site on cricket and contests. Our team enjoys an energetic, creative and challenging company unlike any other, that promotes individual expression and innovation and fosters performance and achievement. Though we are a strongly built squad of atleast a dozen, comprising people from marketing and internet related fields, the core team is as under:

Shishir - A man of strong convictions and one of cool temperament, just doesn't give up things that easily. A never-say-die guy, would love to die for 1 lady though, Preity Zinta. Simply nutts about her, his desktop adorns a pretty Preity Zinta look. Though the seniormost guy in the team, he still is the youngest at heart. Would love to stay on a staple diet of pizzas and coke forever. A perfect sense of humour and a sane disposition keep him going on, the credit for the former, he gives to his watching of Govinda movies. He derives his inspiration from them.Can be caught humming tunes from the flick 'Sangharsh'.

Seema - The 'agony aunt' of our organization; jumps to anybody's and everybody's help at the drop of the hat. Simply nutts about the yesteryear Kamal Hasan starrer "Ek Dooje ke liye"; so much so that she can watch it for the nth time, without any qualms. A food freak, lays her hands on anything scrumptious that her colleagues bring in, hours before lunch time. This spirited lady has a zest for life which she fulfils with her quest for more. Our designer can play with colors galore. Is passionate about her work; she eat, sleeps, dreams criccontest :-)

Mohit - One chatterbox that we have in our organisation. This livewire who keeps switched on day in and day out. Prefers playing online chess when he's not into serious coding. Loves listening to soft nos. from Hariharan to Lobo all day long. Though shocks everybody by playing Govinda nos. occasionally. Talks to one and all in his team in refrains and rhyming schemes.

Basu - Enter Basu and a whiff of jokes, humour comes along. Almost a standup comedian, who keeps the atmosphere alive with his "why did it have to be me?" jokes. Lost in his own world, his innocent carelessness beats all. A typical bong who grabs his share of "roshogolla", he never misses a chance to sing Bangla songs, no matter if anybody is understanding 'em or not, and mind you, he wouldn't like to be disturbed when His Majesty is on his lunch table. He relishes each bite of his grub.

Sumita - This sensitive content writer of the organization hogs on the 'kandoori ki sabzi' that her friend Seema brings occasionally. She loves toying with words to bring out some gibberish stuff every now and then. Likes watching 80s famous light-hearted happy-go-lucky movies starring Farroq Sheikh and Deepti Naval. Adores those R.D.Burman types 'mast' tracks. Thrives on the abundant info on just about anything on the net from Murphy's Laws, to Kahlil Gibran, Osho to Lucky Ali.
