The result was   speedy delete per WP:CSD regarding blatant hoaxes. As SpacemanSpiff points out, the external links are to a fantasy cricket website and this is clearly not fit for an encyclopedia. In fairness to, who declined the PROD, the request was malformed and no reason given, but there doesn't seem to be much point in keeping this AfD open when the article falls within the speedy deletion criteria.

A blatantly obvious hoax presenting a fantasy cricket team as a real one, but I won't tag it for speedy deletion as an admin has contested WP:PROD deletion with the comment "seems perfectly good to me". No sources are offered (the external links are all to non-existent pages on a fantasy cricket site), and none are found for any real cricket team of this name by basic searches:. Any team that had featured so many of the world's top players (many of whose names are obfuscated by minor spelling errors) would have thousands readily available sources.

 * Delete and hopefully a Snow close. The external linking of everything within is itself a giveaway. Both and  should apply. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  18:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
