[edit] Squad lists

Do we really need all the info about DoB, # of ODIs, First class team? It seems to me that they can be found on the individual player pages and this is just repetition. In addition, having # of ODIs duplicates work for editors, since this is already having to be updated in the Infobox of each player page. Thoughts? --Dave. 12:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, the number of ODIs is supposed to be correct as at the start of the cup (as is teams), so there's really not that much extra work involved. I based it on 2006 FIFA World Cup squads, which seems to have worked rather well. Sam Vimes | Address me 11:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough :o) --Dave. 14:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Domestic/First Class

Isn't it a bit misleading putting First Class teams and then "Warwickshire Wonders" (or whatever they happened to be called) underneath, as this would imply that the limited overs team play first class cricket - if you see what I mean. Pedantry I know but I think it'd be better off having a blanket "domestic" title, or perhaps List A, but certainly not First Class as the World Cup is a one-day affair, so FC doesn't apply. Unless anyone disagrees? Tony2Times 22:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. "Domestic" should be used, because we've also got the Kenyan and Bermudian teams, which aren't anywhere near first class status. Sam Vimes | Address me 12:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
