Talk:Cricket in Australia

Comments from WP:ACOTF nomination

 * Found a redlink on Talk:Sport in Australia. I cannot believe that this is not already an article! -- Chuq 01:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I find it difficult to believe that there isn't already an article covering this area. I have placed a query to the Cricket Project desk asking if anyone knows of a similar article.  --Roisterer 22:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Overlapping articles already here are History of cricket, Intercolonial cricket in Australia and Australian cricket team. &mdash;Moondyne 04:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, boy. This could be good fun to write.  Daniel Bryant  10:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

See alsos / further reading
Maybe - I've added a hefty wack of see alsos and some real books to further reading - we need some more substance to justify the tail end weight! SatuSuro 02:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a bit of a pet hate about "see alsos" - I'd much rather the links be in the article body itself - but in this case they are good as they are a reminder as to where else we need to expand - in this case, women's cricket, Australia A teams, notable players, etc. Hopefully once these sections are all complete we can move the links into the new section which should focus on the specific area. -- Chuq 05:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Test Status
There was no ICC established in 1877 to confer test status, nor were the matches considered as "tests" at the time. Tests and test status evolved over time. While it is true that Australia and England were the first two test playing teams, this section is not accurate in its current form but I am not sure of the best way to reword and still clearly express the thought. Any ideas? --Mattinbgn/talk 05:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point - the information in the paragraph I grabbed from Test cricket. I re-worded it slightly which is how the inaccuracies may have crept in. -- Chuq 06:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Women's Cricket
Any serious discussion of Cricket in Australia needs to discuss Women's cricket. I am struggling to find details even on the Cricket Australia site.--Mattinbgn/talk 04:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Images
If anyone knows of any suitable images for the article, please add them.--Mattinbgn/talk 09:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, that was quick. Great work! --Mattinbgn/talk 11:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries, theres a few others at commons:Category:Cricket and on some of the individual player & season articles. --Astrokey 44 11:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi guys, hope my Bellerive panorama isn't out of place at its present location! -- Chuq 22:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Addtional sections needed
We really need two more sections, "playing venues" and "notable cricketers". With the second one, what should be the criteria for inclusion? -- Chuq 22:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Membership in the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame with a link to that article in the section. We could then remove that link from the see also list.  There are no women inducted at present but some should be added to the article, perhaps Karen Rolton, Belinda Clark and Betty Wilson are notable enough for inclusion. --Mattinbgn/talk 22:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

History of the Australian cricket team
There is an article, History of the Australian cricket team, that significantly overlaps some of the content here and could possibly be integrated.--Mattinbgn/talk 04:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Participation
Participation stats - a little out of date but best I have.--Mattinbgn/talk 05:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Bellerive Oval Image
Am I the only one who thinks that this image's presence just below "Women's Cricket" seems to imply that it's from a women's game? As much as I'd like to say it's a possibility, the large crowd would seem to rule out the possibility that it's a women's game that's being photographed.

It's a good image, perhaps it could be moved elsewhere?

Lankiveil 12:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC).


 * I agree it could seem that way. It is a great image however and I think it should stay.  I have moved it to a the One Day section and moved the existing picture in that section to the history section.  Let me know if you think that is still out of place. --Mattinbgn/talk 06:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Just to reply to Lankiveil's comment, I took the photo (or rather made the image from a series of photos) and it was at an Australia vs New Zealand one-day game from January 2007. Yes, men's cricket! -- Chuq (talk) 07:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Domestic competition summary
What do people think of a table similar to the one below (except extended to cover all seasons)?

Should it be moved to a new article, such as Domestic cricket in Australia for example?
