Kennington?
Differentiating Lords and The Oval is a fine idea, but this Australian who has followed Test Cricket for nearly 70 years has never heard of Kennington. (Nor, I now notice, has my spellchecker.) Maybe find a better way? HiLo48 (talk) 04:16, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Controversy section
The controversy section violates Controversy section. What we should be doing is having sourced text about the match, with these being incorporated into the relevant text about that match. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:41, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. I will remove it. HiLo48 (talk) 02:42, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Can we make a small mention in 2023_Ashes_series? As the dismissal has generated significant media coverage in England and Australia, even the British PM commenting. Although it is covered in Alex Carey's article (where I got the original text from). LibStar (talk) 02:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Perhaps something could go there, so long as it was VERY balanced (Not sure how you would achieve that), and also took into account WP:RECENT. Cricket scores are forever, and WILL be looked at in 100 years times, if the past is any sort of a guide. A drama around one dismissal, not so much. HiLo48 (talk) 04:02, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm happy to wait a few weeks to see if it's still getting coverage. LibStar (talk) 05:12, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Missing TOC
I need this article's TOC in order to reference and access a particular section, e.g., "Fifth Test". Why is there no TOC, and is there any other way I can reference a single section or subsesction? I notice that "#Matches" works for that main section, but the # won't work for "Fifth Test". Bjenks (talk) 10:08, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Bjenks I clearly see the standard ToC - which Wikipedia version and wikipedia skin are you using? - The answer to your linking question is 2023_Ashes_series - Arjayay (talk) 09:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Spaces also work: 2023 Ashes series. I see the TOC in all skins and circumstances I have tried. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks to both. I have managed to restore ToCs on my desktop by returning to the vector legacy (2010) skin. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 14:42, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Consistency Test
G'day @SKAG123. Like you, I'm generally reluctant to capinitialise a common noun, and I gave much thought to doing so here, which you've reverted without clear reason. OK, now let's have your justification, please. My consistency edit was based on a simple Ctrl-F search of the article which showed Test=99 matches, Tests=22 matches, test=0 matches, tests=2 matches. So what will you do now? Will you change them all to lower-case (which, I'm sure, will bring on a more serious argument) or undo your hasty revert. Which is it to be? Regards, Bjenks (talk) 08:32, 9 August 2023 (UTC)


 * WikiProject Cricket/The Nets/Style advice is clear: Always use capital T when referring to Test cricket and in any situation where the definite article is part of a title: e.g., in a Test match at The Oval, England won The Ashes. It should always be Test match, which shortens to Test. This is consistent with all other cricket articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:37, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Joseph2302 for the correction. Yes, cricket is a big enough culture to have its own language rules! Bjenks (talk) 09:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes I understand Test in Cricket should be capitalized
 * my apologies SKAG123 (talk) 18:19, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
