A decade-old list, I've completely re-written the lead and worked on the table and formatting stuff. Look forward to comments and suggestions, as always —Vensatry (ping) 18:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • You abbreviate ICC but never use the abbreviation.
  • Why not link England and Australia cricket teams in the lead?
  • " if it ends up " maybe "if it concludes" or at least remove "up".
  • Duckworth and Lewis should be separated by an en-dash.
  • "There are also two matches where the scores ended level, but the team which had lost fewer wickets was declared the winner." was this a local rule change that over-ruled the ICC definition?
    • Guess it was a local rule. Can't find sources for the same, anything from your side? —Vensatry (ping) 11:19, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The first tie in ODIs happened" bit awkward reading for me "The first tie in ODI history took place..."
  • Why not link Aus and WI?
  • " occurred after a gap of five years during the second match" the way that's currently written it could be inferred that gap of five years took place during a match...
  • "Starting from 1991, a further 30 ties have occurred in ODIs, more frequently than ever before" not keen on this really, and I imagine that more ties occurred because more matches were played...
  • "Australia was involved in" instead of was, maybe "has been" (or BritEng "have been")
  • Kingsmead cricket ground -> Cricket Ground.
  • Some of the notes make claims which need referencing, e.g. Note A.
  • Note G - overs, not over.
  • Not sure you need to relink D/L method every single time it's used.

That's it from a quick run-through. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:36, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from West Virginian
  • Vensatry, I only had a few comments for you regarding this list. Overall, fantastic job researching and crafting this lede and list! -- West Virginian (talk) 04:40, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first statement in the first sentence of the lede where the term "One Day International" is defined should have an inline citation at the end of it.
  • The image of the Australian team is licensed CC BY-SA 2.0 and is acceptable for use here. Both captions are suitable.
  • Over (cricket) should be wiki-linked to the "over" in 40-over, since it comes before the next usage of the term in the lede's prose.
  • In the last sentence of the first paragraph, two matches are mentioned but no specifics are given. Is there a way to include more information here regarding those two matches? I know this content is below in the table, but this could be elaborated further in this sentence.
  • Bangladesh needn't be wiki-linked in the final sentence of the lede.
  • All the images included are licensed appropriately and are suitable for use here; and all images have acceptable captions in keeping with FL standards.

Comments'
  • "There are also two matches where the scores ended level..." -> There have been two occasions where a match has been tied, that the team which had lost fewer wickets was declared the winner.
  • "the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack called..." called makes no sense, change to stated
  • "occurred in till..." in till -> until
  • I would move the green key indicator to before the table so the reader knows what it represents before they view the table

Other than these looks good. NapHit (talk) 19:57, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
