Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article is now quite long, but I think the stub notice is still justifiable since the historical section remains rather poor, with hardly any detail between the nineteenth century and the 1960s. Loganberry (Talk) 14:33, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

2007 flood-related ground changes[edit]

When the Grounds section is updated (the end of the season would seem the most sensible time for this) care will need to be taken regarding the flood-related changes. Discussion on WT:CRIC established that matches moved out-of-county should be regarded as neutral-venue rather than home games, but the Worcester Royal Grammar School Ground, which hosted the List A game v Sri Lanka A, is an entirely new venue at this level and will need to be added.

Section: Notable past players[edit]

Surely the fact that all these people have undisputed pages about them in the Wikipedia is sufficient justification of notability to include them in this list? Banner deleted.--Kudpung (talk) 06:44, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Generally, the talk page is the place for comments concerning the content. I will therefore repeat the comments hidden in the page code:
NB: The definition of "notable" is vague, but it doesn't mean "every single Worcs player who appeared in a Test or ODI"! I don't think Phil Newport, for example, would qualify. I've taken a view that playing a large number of games for the County side makes a player "notable" at least as far as the County is concerned
--Kudpung (talk) 06:57, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Classification of players[edit]

Why is Joe Clarke down a wicket-keeper? He has played around 150 games for Worcs, all as batsman, none as keeper as far as I am aware. As far a Worcs are concerned he is a batsman only.

Meanwhile Daryl Mitchell is not down as an all-rounder despite having taken around 200 wickets.

Grounds[edit]

There is a note saying that Haden Hill Park was due to host a B&H match in 1988 but it was never held. There are two problems with this: (1) The match was due to be help at Haden Hill Cricket Ground, not Haden Hill Park. They are adjacent but separate. (2) The match was against Minor Counties and, as I recall, it was a Minor Counties home match, not a Worcs home match so is of no relevance to this section - but I may be wrong.
