Comments

  • " in both duration and in the number" -> "both in duration and the number"
  • " the West Indies withdrew in protest at the 1981 South African rugby tour of New Zealand." I know the point is to expand this in the prose, but this on the face of it is so bizarre, a hint in the lead wouldn't go amiss...
  • Kick those refs out of the lead, they can go where the points are expanded upon in the main body.
  • You assume the readers know what "runs", "wickets" and "spinners" are in the lead.
  • " filled in a gap to play" I may have missed this before, but should this be something like "a gap in their playing schedule" or similar?
  • MCG is abbreviated but never used.
  • "a forty overs per side contest" ugh, I think that "forty-overs-per-side" is being used adjectively here so should be hyphenated. Or better, rewrite to avoid.
  • "a 60-overs per side contest" likewise. And perhaps some consistency forty/sixty vs 40/60.
  • "Invitations were sent to five teams; Australia, England, India, the Netherlands and the West Indies. As in 1978, Sout" Perhaps "Five teams were invited: ... but as in 1978..." to avoid the second short sentence.
  • " in protest that New Zealand had" I guess this is apartheid-related but it needs to be spelled out.
  • I think we may have a MOSFLAG issue with the invitational XI. Firstly it's almost impossible to see the difference in the Oz and NZ flags, secondly you have a Welsh flag despite the individual having played for England, and thirdly we would normally expect to see these flag names explained the first time of use.
  • Heyhoe-Flint is inconsistently hyphenated.
  • Marie Cornish is piped to a redirect back to itself.
  • I think you could fit all five team columns in one row and eliminate that nasty blank team cell.
  • Wanganui normally has an h.
  • I would make the venue table unsortable, when you sort it you get multiple instances of that rowspanned map and it looks dreadful.
  • OORRRR put the map to the right of the table outside the wikitable class....
  • "was broken only two days later," no need for "only".
  • Lots of bold text in these cricket templates, why?
  • "Bird became" full name and link first time.
  • No images of any players available?
  • "just ahead of the" no need for "just"
  • " Barb Bevege's " she was Barbara before.
  • Link "bowling figures".
  • And "five wickets in an innings".
  • Is the C in ESPNcricinfo" capitalised or not for the references?
  • And italics or not?
  • Consistent, e.g. The Age is linked second time (I think) in the refs.

That's enough for a first quick pass before my battery runs out. It's on hold. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Well, turns out I left this as a pile of poo. Will start tidying this afternoon. Harrias talk 12:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fear not. Nothing like some of the GAs I've reviewed!! The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 12:08, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: Okay, back for more, please. Harrias talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The only thing I didn't note the first time round is the "n.a."s in the fair use justification, those need to be fixed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 07:55, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man:Cheers: I've changed it to a logo specific rationale table, which should have sorted that. Harrias talk 09:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All good, happy to promote now. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
