  •  Y Article is long enough (8334 characters), new enough (moved to mainspace on 8 April, nominated same day), and article is within policy. Copyvio is at 16% but it's a false positive, as the text flagged is just scorecard text and "won the toss and batted first", both of which are sensible to be the same as the source
  •  Y The hook is short enough and interesting, and is supported by the combination of the two sources mentioned above
  •  Y Image is PD, looks good at low resolution, and is used in the article
  •  Y QPQ done
  •   Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Background

edit
  • "England had won the first world cup" - World Cup
  • "Australia had beaten England" - defeated
  • Wikilink wickets to the relevant article

Route to the final

edit
  • "once against Australia and once against New Zealand." - possible minor rewrite to avoid repetition of the same phrase?
  • "Ireland and the Netherlands were well adrift," - behind

Summary

edit
  • "in Melbourne, Australia on 18 December." - comma after Australia please
  • "Heather Smith, of The Sydney Morning Herald suggested that," - the first comma isn't needed I think
  • Wikilink the first mention of the term "crease" to the relevant article and the same for the terms "delivery" and "over"
  • "earning praise from both The Sydney Morning Herald and The Times,[9][6]" - refs in numerical order
  • "and in the fourteenth over," - 14th

Aftermath

edit
  • Both mentions of "world cup" should be spelt as "World Cup"
@MWright96: Other than the point I responded to last night, all have been changed as suggested. Thanks for the review. Harrias talk 08:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
