Background

 * "England had won the first world cup" - World Cup
 * "Australia had beaten England" - defeated
 * Wikilink wickets to the relevant article

Route to the final

 * "once against Australia and once against New Zealand." - possible minor rewrite to avoid repetition of the same phrase?
 * "Ireland and the Netherlands were well adrift," - behind

Summary

 * "in Melbourne, Australia on 18 December." - comma after Australia please
 * "Heather Smith, of The Sydney Morning Herald suggested that," - the first comma isn't needed I think
 * Wikilink the first mention of the term "crease" to the relevant article and the same for the terms "delivery" and "over"
 * "earning praise from both The Sydney Morning Herald and The Times,[9][6]" - refs in numerical order
 * The MOS specifically states this is not necessary: "References need not be moved solely to maintain the chronological order of footnotes as they appear in the article..". Harrias  talk 20:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It's a part of the MOS that I don't agree with but it's no deal breaker MWright96 (talk) 08:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)


 * "and in the fourteenth over," - 14th

Aftermath

 * Both mentions of "world cup" should be spelt as "World Cup"


 * Other than the point I responded to last night, all have been changed as suggested. Thanks for the review. Harrias  talk 08:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Am satisfied with the changes and will be promoting to GA class. MWright96 (talk) 12:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
