Comments
- "won the tournament in 1974" link?
- "finalists in 1979" ditto?
- "Surrey had previously..." probably too many run-ons here, perhaps split.
- " 194 runs off their full" prefer "from" to "off" here.
- Need to link "over" in the lead (you link "not out" so probably worth making sure you link all such "cricket jargon").
- "Somerset lost both their openers cheaply" no need to repeat "their", already covered in the previous clause.
- "West Indian, Viv Richards dominated" comma after Richards.
- " one-day tournament" probably needs "cricket" in there.
- "bowling performance to bowl them" mildly repetitive...
- You're right, but I'm struggling for an alternative that doesn't sound forced. Harrias talk 12:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- I tried one, feel free to revert. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 13:45, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

- " a Minor Counties team " is that a "combined" minor team like the combined CU/OU team?
- " The group matches suffered badly from the weather; four of the ten matches" repetitive use of "matches".
- Consistent capitalisation for M(m)inor C(c)ounties.
- " once once again" so good they did it once too often.
- Link "toss" (per all good Boat Race articles...!)
- Piped to Donald Trump. Sorry, I mean Toss (cricket). Harrias talk 12:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- "Surrey started slowly; after the first ten overs they were seven for on" slowly?? That's an understatement!
- It was a different time! Do you know that Brian Langford once bowled his entire allocation without conceding a run? 8 overs, 8 maidens, 0 runs, 0 wickets. That was even earlier though, 1969. And on an outground, so it was probably a bit dodgy. Anyway, did you want a change here, or just a comment? Harrias talk 12:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- No, just a comment. I'm a bit of a hater of slow run rates in one-day cricket...!! The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 13:45, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

- " They only added another..." perhaps "They added just another..."
- Suddenly struck me that "opener" may also class as "jargon".
- "against Somerset's slower bowlers" probably no need to repeat Somerset.
- " bowling of Garner. In all, Garner" quick repeat of Garner.
- " Scyld Berry described" introduce Berry.
- Could appropriately link "six".
- Linked both six and four to Boundary (cricket). Harrias talk 12:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- " dismissed without scoring" could use "for a duck" and link it...
- "remaining.[8][6]" ref order.
- Probably not worth using * for not out and linking it, keep it to prose when in the prose.
- "Benson and Hedges" &
- I usually use alt text for dagger and asterisk in these kinds of articles.
- Nice to see the tables are WP:ACCESS-friendly!
- Our article tends to hyphenate "no-ball"...
- I don't know why, the Laws of Cricket don't. We should probably sort that out. Harrias talk 12:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Link £ and consider inflation.
- WP:£ says to "Link the first occurrence of lesser-known currencies", I don't think that applies to sterling. I have considered inflation. For some reason, it seems to apply to my shopping, but not my wage... But seriously, I've added a note summarising, how's that? Harrias talk 12:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Somerset's overall winnings don't add up for me? £9,450?
- "Benson and Hedges Cup" & again.
- Caught this above.
- "by 9 wickets" nine.
- Could consider Somerset/Surrey CCC categories?
That's it for me. On hold pending this bunch. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:20, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
