[edit] Stats

I feel the leading batting and bowling stats are incorrect (by a long way). Can someone provide a source? -- Ian ≡ talk 11:45, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

For example: Justin Langer 2828 runs @ 40.40.

Cricinfo [1] has Langer with 7,023 Test runs; 160 ODI runs (!); 22,432 first-class runs and 5,844 List-A runs. How do you get 2,828 out of that? A few of the others listed were also wrong. -- Ian ≡ talk 11:52, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New name

As an American, and a long-time driver of the pickup truck in question, I wonder why Australia's one-day cricket competition is named for a vehicle not sold in Australia. Does anyone have any ideas? Did Ford Courier Cup not sound right to the powers that be? --Xyzzyva 13:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I understand that Ford will be launching the Ranger to the Australian market on 1 January 2007, according to the Ford Australia website. I can only think that they have named the competition this as a way of enabling brand recognition prior to the actual launch. --Dave 23:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

With the constant sponsorship name changes of this competition, it would be nice if there was a sensible non-sponsor specific name that the article could be called - with the sponsorship names as redirects. -- Chuq 03:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I do agree, but to what? This issue was raised briefly just recently at WP:CRIC - apparently the convention is to use the sponsor's name. — Moondyne 03:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

How about Australian Domestic List A Cricket competition? --Astrokey44 23:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Venue/Crowd in winners table

This table is a table of the winners and runners-up of the whole competition, not a list of the finals played, so the inclusion of venues and crowd figures seems a bit strange. The venue of the final may be worth including (labelled clearly as "final venue" or something like that), but the crowd figures seem even more out of place (and definitely shouldn't be "0" when figures aren't available). There is a whole separate article on the finals - how much of the info needs to be in this table as well? JPD (talk) 11:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
