[edit] New Members 2005

I've added the four new members announced 28 June, 2005: Guernsey, Jersey, Mali, Slovenia, and upgraded the five moved from Affiliate to Associate status: Belgium, Botswana, Japan, Kuwait, and Thailand. Maybe someone can update the map graphic? -dmmaus 28 June 2005 23:00 (UTC)

Also, as mentioned on the map's Image page, France is incorrectly left uncoloured. Loganberry (Talk) 22:36, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] South Africa

I thought South Africa left the ICC in 1961 as it left the Commonwealth then, and so was not able to be a member. Indeed, the "Tests" they played from that time to 1970 were not recognised as Tests by the ICC at the time (even though everyone else recognised them as Tests). I have therefore changed the date in the table (which was showing 1970), jguk 28 June 2005 23:27 (UTC)

[edit] Team names

The links to teams are, currently, a bit of a mess. In some places there are links to [[French cricket team|France]], in others, [[Norwegian Cricket Board|Norway]]. What should we use? I'd prefer the team link, personally, as I think an article on the Norway cricket team (sorry, Pakistan 'G') is much easier to make and write than the article on Norwegian Cricket Board, and can also encompass more.

It should be linked into the Norwegian cricket team. I was surprised at how much there is on Norwegian cricket in English on the web. I've been busy at work, which has reduced my article-writing (I was hoping to help out more on the English and Sri Lankan cricket seasons and to have completed the 2005 ICC Trophy by now - but there goes). I'm equally surprised you haven't written it yourself, Sam:) jguk 21:42, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
I will get onto it at some point...only there's the Test match in Sri Lanka, two ODIs, NL games, an "ODI" between WI A v SL A and ICC trophy stuff to write...oh yeah, and it should be Norwegian, of course. But you agree that linking to the team in this article is better than linking to the board? At least we're more likely to get blue-links that way Sam Vimes 22:04, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
Well, as we keep waffling on here, Sidp has been bold, made it all much easier to organise, and rendered this debate fairly useless. Sam Vimes 22:39, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] National team adjectives

I've changed some of these on the basis of how common they are. In each case I've tested the alternatives with Google simply adding "team" to the end, so that in the first case I compared "Argentinian team" to "Argentine team", found the latter was much more common and so edited. I'm listing the countries I have changed, in case there's a good reason to change any of them back. In each case the option I've chosen is listed in bold. Where the country's correct adjective is actually less common than simply using the noun (as in the case of Mozambique and St Helena) I've simply added a redirect to the noun form.

Good work there. Now to actually write the things. ;) Sam Vimes 21:27, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What about Harare meeting?

This obviously is no longer "going to occur" in March 2006; I hope that a knowledgeable editor will now update us. Rlquall 00:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
