Once i click a button, i want my website to go and login to a
particular site [that doesnt hav API] and simulate some user actions
(eg. cricinfo.com and change the Fantasy Cricket team).

Which technology/language should i use for that?

{ Whats in my mind::
Afterall when a user interacts with website it is a series of HTTPReqs
and HTTPresponses. Cannot that be replaced by a web script (assuming
the website behaviour remains constant) }

check out:

but, it will not be easy.

Almost any language can be used. What are you familiar with?
