[edit] Out of date

Just making a note that this needs to be updated. Stephen Turner 09:33, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Well done. Now it's time to list it on FLC:) jguk 18:23, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. My photo too! Stephen Turner 19:03, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

I think we can use balls for Sri Lanka, this list, the ACC list, Zimbabwe and a few others. The problem is that some Aussie matches were played with 8-ball overs, so if we convert them they are going to be inconsistent. Sam Vimes 19:07, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

I thought that might be the answer. I still prefer overs where the team has never played 8-ball overs, but I can see the virtue of consistency too. Still, if we use balls, I definitely prefer to drop maidens. Balls and maidens is weird. Stephen Turner 19:25, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

In the absence of any objections, I removed the maidens. Stephen Turner 10:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Better reference?

Oh, one more thing. Is there a better reference listing these players? Because the Howstat page referenced at the moment doesn't actually work for non-country teams (although maybe they'll fix it in the future). I used Cricinfo to generate the stats, but not from a single list. I couldn't find a particularly good list at cricketarchive.com either. Stephen Turner 19:23, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

I linked to a suitable search on Cricinfo StatsGuru. Stephen Turner 10:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] World XI - Redirect?

World XI redirects here, which might be a little confusing for people searching for information on the various "Test" World XI's (Packer, England 1970), etc. Short of a genuine stub article, perhaps a mention of this in the lead would be a good idea? Tevildo 19:00, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ICC World XI.png

Image:ICC World XI.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
