As it was created I have setup a bot feed for the new Cricket related articles and set up a simple board for the announcement of new articles. Feel free to develop or remove the additions Alex Bakharev 11:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am in the trial runs of the User:AlexNewArtBot (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/AlexNewArtBot). The bot reads all the new articles for a day and puts suspected Cricket-related articles into User:AlexNewArtBot/CricketSearchResult, the articles are suppose to be manually put into the portal page and/or removed if irrelevant. Or whatever you want to do with them.
The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/Cricket, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/CricketLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log). Please contact me if you are interested in the fine tuning of the rules
That is all. Any suggestions are welcome. Alex Bakharev 11:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
The Cricket portal page is missing the key ICC cricket ratings(The official ratings), for test & ODI. We need to include that either as a separate Rankings Section, which could include
or we can just include it in the featured lists..

Back in 2005, this was the very first portal in the Portal: namespace, and one of the first featured portals. Things have since gone a bit stale, and I think that now it's time for an update. To that end I have been working on Portal:Cricket/Redesign. It's by no means a finished work, but it gives the gist of what I am aiming for.
With your approval, I'd like to merge the redesigned page into the main space. I plan on moving the content that is currently on the portal page and not in the redesign onto a subpage which will be prominently linked - in a similar manner to Portal:Australia for example. I'm also planning on implementing automatic methods of keeping content fresh where possible, and keeping the rest updated myself (any help of course appreciated!). It will be easier to implement the rest once the main portal page is updated.
I hope this is too everyone's liking, but please do leave your comments and criticisms (or just go and improve it yourself!). If there's no opposition, I'll go ahead and merge into the main portal page. Cheers, →Ollie (talk • contribs) 01:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks chaps. I was aiming for a similar idea to the box skeleton thingamy, though with a bit of a different look and feel. It definately needs to be modularised/transcluded in a similar way though - I thought this would be easier to do when everything is in the place it will end up. THUGCHILDz (and anyone else for that matter), feel free to have a play... this is a wiki after all ;) →Ollie (talk • contribs) 03:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Yup, thats what I was thinking. Something like:
→Ollie (talk • contribs) 03:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC) →Ollie (talk • contribs) 03:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I have added the rankings of the teams but I kept it up to top 10 so it doesn't get to big. Also, I changed the color of the "cricket" section to blue because I was kind of thinking like the top being the sky, and then the brown being the pitch and the green being the field although the pitch is supposed to be in the middle. :) --THUGCHILDz 04:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Nice idea.
But a great start. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments.

So when are we going to move this redesign into the portal?--THUGCHILDz 00:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I've moved the redesigned portal into the main space now. Work continues! I'll try and get some short explanatory notes written up as well, just to clear up where everything is and how it works (in case it's not completely obvious). Meanwhile, if anyone is twiddling their thumbs, there are plenty of redlinks in Portal:Cricket/On this day that need completing! →Ollie (talk • contribs) 19:11, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Nice work - congratulations. Is there a reason for having this and stopping edit links in each box? —Moondyne 06:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I need to put up a pic for Mahendra Singh Dhoni article. But I can't find any good images. What is a god places to look for legal images of cricketers? Also is Portal:Cricket good place to ask for such help? Shabda 04:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I've setup the framework and added a few random entries for this as well a Portal:Cricket/This day in cricket page. Unfortunately it looks like crap unless every day has an entry, so if anyone has any anniversaries to add, please do. Once its substantially populated, it could be transcluded into the main portal page. —Moondyne 08:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Grrr. I should have asked first before embarking on this. I do like your full year view Ollie - much nicer that the calendar view which I copied off portal:Australia/Anniversaries IMO. I'll work on merging the two formats now and try to keep the best of each. Thanks. —Moondyne 16:34, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Just noticed all the good work that's been done here. Well done to you all. --Dweller 09:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi to everybody in the portal. Just to let you know, I'm currently preparing a spoken-word version of the Cricket article, which should be ready in the next few days. I hope to do more cricket-related articles in the future as well. Hassocks5489 12:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Should there be a template for Wisden Cricketers of the Year as it would be good and I can't seem to find one DIPPY (talk) 19:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
The last country in the template now has their article: Croatian Cricket Federation. -WarthogDemon 04:56, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I can't find a list of all cricketers who attended the ODI-World-Cups. And a list of cricketers who won the most ODI-World-Cups. Where can i get such a list? I don't found anything at www.cricinfo.com/ Thanks! :-) 77.20.121.140 (talk) 15:54, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
I don't know how two interwiki links for Malayalam coming here. One link is correct and other one is wrong(which is pointed to ml:Portal:Cricket/Featured) please remove this link. The correct Link is ml:കവാടം:ക്രിക്കറ്റ് --Kiran Gopi (talk) 07:05, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
I have several concerns that this portal no longer meets the current Featured portal criteria.
I'll be happy to help improve the portal, although I'm not going to do all the work myself; it would be a good idea to look at some of the more recently featured portals to get ideas on the layout, coding, possible improvements (a "selected quotation" box, perhaps?) at the Featured portals log. Random subpages are the way forward, to avoid having to do manual updates... BencherliteTalk 18:38, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
My Doubt: if a player played for more than one country, should the years (for example 20**-20##) be written in the infobox?
aGastya ✉ let's talk about it :) 10:25, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I wished that all the countries playing cricket (and having that specific article: example Australia national cricket team) have one generalisation. That is all have a section of Current Squad. So the sub-heading must be the same. Because for England it is Personnel, for West Indies it is Squad.
It should have a common heading to avoid certain confusions (I did not know meaning of Personnel though). But Uniformity would be great!
In explicit way: Can I have a Yes to modify the sub heading of current squad to a specific term?

Here ye, here ye...
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:05, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Please help and improve this article. 87.140.111.165 (talk) 06:16, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Do the infoboxes update automatically or is it done manually? --Bodhi-Baum (talk) 18:21, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
