The first picture has text that says something like "first day washed out at Old Trafford" What is the point of that picture in an article about one day cricket, if the first day is washed out the game is not played (usually) It's misleading and contradictory for somebody who doesn't understand the game. --Bob Palin 03:46, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Indian competitions[edit]

Judging from the founding dates and descriptions, these are First Class rather than One-Day competitions!

Good point, Anon. They're a load of nonsense. One-day cricket started in England c.1963 (I'm sure someone will correct me on the date). Do you know the real info to put here? jguk 23:04, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
No, but the Wisden or Cricinfo sites should have the information - I'm afraid I don't have time to research it this week. (remembers to sign this time... dramatic 10:15, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It's obviously not about one-day competitions. Any sane follower of cricket in India would know that Ranji Trophy is not a one-day competition. I wanted to remove that portion straightaway, but it was written well, so maybe we could find another place to move this material to, can't we? Jam2k 12:09, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
It would have to be merged with first-class cricket, which would improve that article IMO at the moment is mostly a long list of first class teams.
Also - anyone here interested in joining the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket? jguk 12:42, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)


Ranji trophy[edit]

Saving the data here. This talks about the fc championship, not the onedays.

- Founded as 'The Cricket Championship of India' at a meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India in July 1934. The first Ranji Trophy fixtures took place in the 1934-35 season. The Trophy was donated by H.H. Sir Bhupendra Singh Mahinder Baha-dur, Maharajah of Patiala in memory of His late Highness Sir Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji of Nawanagar. In the main the Ranji Trophy is composed of teams representing the states that make up India. As the political states have multiplied, so have cricket teams, but not every state has a team. Some states have more than one cricket team, e.g. Maharashtra and Gujarat. There are also 'odd' teams like Railways, and Services representing the armed forces. The various teams used to be grouped into zones - North, West, East, Central and South - and the initial matches are played on a league basis within the zones. The top two (till 1991-92), top three teams from each zone then play in a national knock-out competition. Starting with the 2002-03 season, the zonal system has been abandoned and a two-division structure has been adopted with two teams being promoted from the plate league and two relegated from the elite league. If the matches are not finished they are decided on the first-innings lead.

One day records[edit]

Seems to be almost exclusively about Sachin Tendulkar.Reyk 07:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Have any of these stats been verified? And yes - it does seem to be the Sachin appreciation corner. Waverley73 09:55, 14 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

bowl-out[edit]

How does that work then?— Dunc|☺ 13:25, 16 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If you are talking about the New Zealand/West Indies Twenty20 match earlier today, from here:
"Five bowlers from each side were nominated for two attempts each to hit unguarded stumps..."
and from here:
"New Zealand needed 16 off the last over and it came down to a four by Shane Bond off the last ball to save the day for the home side and bring about a bowl-off, cricket's equivalent of soccer's penalty shootout.
Bowling two balls each, the first three of five bowlers from both sides all missed the stumps before Bond hit twice.
Ian Bradshaw followed for the West Indies and failed to connect leaving a wicket from Styris on his first ball to give New Zealand an unbeatable 3-0 lead."
This idea has been used in English domestic Twenty20 matches - see this - after the first five bolwers, it goes to "sudden death". But presumably this level of detail should be in bowl-out or Twenty20 rather than here. -- ALoan (Talk) 13:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Error in lead?[edit]

The lead states that test and first class matches may take up to 5 days to complete. Now, ignoring both the old tradition of timeless tests and the recent suggestion that tests in Pakistan specifically be extended to 6 days, I'm not sure this is fully accurate. Aren't Super Series tests 6 days long? TheGrappler 15:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I guess it is better to keep it simple. RoW matches were an exception. Chances are that we won't another 'Superseries test' anytime in the near future. Tintin (talk) 15:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Win condition[edit]

Is it worth including the victory condition (having most runs when both sides run out of innings) in the article somewhere? Rmsgrey (talk) 15:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
