   Pass/Fail:

Background

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

Route to the final

• "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

• "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

• The MOS specifically states this is not necessary: "References need not be moved solely to maintain the chronological order of footnotes as they appear in the article..". Harrias ^talk 20:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
  • It's a part of the MOS that I don't agree with but it's no deal breaker MWright96 (talk) 08:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

• "and in the fourteenth over," - 14th

Aftermath

• 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)

• @Harrias: Am satisfied with the changes and will be promoting to GA class. MWright96 (talk) 12:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
