England cricket team Test results (1877–1914)

 * Nominator(s): Harrias talk 13:59, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

I recently came across List of England Test matches, which was a huge list of every England Test match, but was so big that it became pretty useless. I have condensed that page into the summary that it is now, and split the results lists down by era to hopefully make them more accessible. This is the first of them. The list is loosely based upon the similar Scotland national football team 1872–1914 results, which is a FL. As always, all comments, criticisms and nattering welcome!

Thanks for your valuable input on the prose; I've updated the article now to reflect the suggested changes. Harrias talk 08:56, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Comments Other than that, it looks good. NapHit (talk) 10:01, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Why are all entries for Adelaide Oval, the same apart from the 1908 one? I think just having Adelaide Oval, as you do for the majority is fine.
 * Same for Sydney Cricket Ground, there is one rogue entry as well.
 * was doing some tidying, and I assume they just missed those couple. Cleaned both up now. Harrias talk 14:58, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * No worries, happy to support now. Great work! NapHit (talk) 17:28, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I like the idea and like much of the execution. The time period is justifiable, which is important.
 * Comments from Dweller
 * I think the lead should be a bit chunkier and I wonder if it's worth expanding slightly on the fact that in 1877 there were only two Test nations, and that SA then joined the fold?
 * Standalone lists aren't necessarily supposed to have a great deal of text, though I don't mind adding more in if relevant. I'm unsure what expansion can be made on these lines, which is mentioned in the last sentence of the first paragraph, without adding redundancy. Harrias talk 21:15, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Some comment about the Triangular Tournament, please. I wonder if the fantastic cartoon from Punch is out of copyright?
 * The Triangular Tournament is definitely worth mentioning; I'll need to dig out a couple of additional sources for it. Harrias talk 21:15, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

 * I've reworded the lead as per your message on my talk page, adding a couple of references to support the information, what do you think now? Harrias talk 11:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking good. Should "their 10-run win over Australia during the 1894–95 Ashes series was their third narrowest win by runs" read "...is their third narrowest win by runs" ? --Dweller (talk) 11:30, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Yup, altered. Harrias</b> talk 11:34, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
