The number of users recorded during December was in excess of 770, again easily beating the previous best. This figure is calculated by recording the number of unique I.P. addresses.

Another pleasing aspect about December's figures was the fact that the daily story page views showed that Outlawed occasionally bettered sister site Sting In The Tail, which has been going now for over three years. So, the newcomer is beginning to make inroads on the Derbyshire site's long-standing lead in the English cricket sites on the network.

With the new season a little over three months away, Outlawed is going from strength to strength. With the newly-formed link with owzat-cricket boosting the site's readership, who would bet against Outlawed overtaking Sting In The Tail before the end of the 2003 season?
