List of One Day International cricket records
''Notified: WikiProject Cricket, User:Moondyne, User:Mikker

While unquestionably an impressive collection of stats, this four year old FL shows its age in a few ways. It has a two line lead, and nothing in the way of explanation of what the statistics mean. There is also potential for adding overall team records and appropriate illustrations, and for sorting. Its big brother received a makeover a few months ago, and provides a very good framework for this list to learn from. WFCforLife (talk) 06:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Issues
 * Some names in tables are boldface. I don't see any reason for them to be in bold.
 * The sources for the tables should be in the footnotes section.
 * Why is there a "v" in the opposition column of the Partnership records section? I believe it's redundant.
 * All five tables in the Team scoring records section have the same columns and they all should have the same length.
 * Is howstat.com a reliable source? It states that The information incorporated in this web site is believed to be correct, and any opinions or conclusions are believed to be reasonably held or made, as at the time of posting, but their accuracy is not warranted. 
 * Cricmania.com isn't working for me.
 * The link for the source for Largest tied run chases isn't working either.


 * Remove – Lead is inadequate, no inlines are present anywhere, and there are many other things noted above that are troublesome. In addition, I couldn't help but be put off by the first sentence: "This is a list of One-Day International cricket records, that record team and individual performances in One Day International cricket." A formulaic opening that we've been trying to prevent in recent FLs, inconsistent hyphen usage in One Day, and a grammar error with "record", which should be plural. The second sentence begins, "Like the Test cricket and its records", which contains another grammar error. This list needs much all-around work to retain its status.
