" in both duration and in the number" -> "both in duration and the number"

Done. Harrias ^talk 09:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

" the West Indies withdrew in protest at the 1981 South African rugby tour of New Zealand." I know the point is to expand this in the prose, but this on the face of it is so bizarre, a hint in the lead wouldn't go amiss...

Tried to explain this a bit more, how is it? Harrias ^talk 09:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kick those refs out of the lead, they can go where the points are expanded upon in the main body.
You assume the readers know what "runs", "wickets" and "spinners" are in the lead.

" filled in a gap to play" I may have missed this before, but should this be something like "a gap in their playing schedule" or similar?

Changed to "filled in a gap in their schedule to play". Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MCG is abbreviated but never used.

Cut. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"a forty overs per side contest" ugh, I think that "forty-overs-per-side" is being used adjectively here so should be hyphenated. Or better, rewrite to avoid.

Hyphenated for the moment: brain isn't sharp enough to rewrite at the moment. Feel free if you can think of a suitable alternative. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"a 60-overs per side contest" likewise. And perhaps some consistency forty/sixty vs 40/60.

Should be sorted now. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Invitations were sent to five teams; Australia, England, India, the Netherlands and the West Indies. As in 1978, Sout" Perhaps "Five teams were invited: ... but as in 1978..." to avoid the second short sentence.

Yup, that works. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

" in protest that New Zealand had" I guess this is apartheid-related but it needs to be spelled out.

Small change to "that New Zealand had hosted the apartheid-era South African rugby team in 1981". Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think we may have a MOSFLAG issue with the invitational XI. Firstly it's almost impossible to see the difference in the Oz and NZ flags, secondly you have a Welsh flag despite the individual having played for England, and thirdly we would normally expect to see these flag names explained the first time of use.

I've done a host of tidying here. Ultimately, I think it will be replaced by a breakout 1982 Women's Cricket World Cup squads, in the style of 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup squads. But done for the moment. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heyhoe-Flint is inconsistently hyphenated.

Sorted. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Our article on Lopamudra Bhattacharji has an "i" at the end of her name.

Sorted. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marie Cornish is piped to a redirect back to itself.

Sorted. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think you could fit all five team columns in one row and eliminate that nasty blank team cell.

Sorted. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wanganui normally has an h.

The source uses "Wanganui", and our article says "Whanganui or Wanganui", no change made. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would make the venue table unsortable, when you sort it you get multiple instances of that rowspanned map and it looks dreadful.
OORRRR put the map to the right of the table outside the wikitable class....

Made it unsortable, it looks tidier, and for such a short list, the sorting didn't add much. Harrias ^talk 09:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"was broken only two days later," no need for "only".

Removed. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of bold text in these cricket templates, why?

That's just how they are designed. WT:CRIC would be the best forum to discuss changing that, I would guess. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Bird became" full name and link first time.

Done. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No images of any players available?

Not any that were notable in this tournament that I can find, no. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"just ahead of the" no need for "just"

Removed. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

" Barb Bevege's " she was Barbara before.

Sorted. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Link "bowling figures".

Linked. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And "five wickets in an innings".

Linked. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is the C in ESPNcricinfo" capitalised or not for the references?
And italics or not?
Consistent, e.g. The Age is linked second time (I think) in the refs.

All three should be sorted now. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's enough for a first quick pass before my battery runs out. It's on hold. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Well, turns out I left this as a pile of poo. Will start tidying this afternoon. Harrias ^talk 12:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fear not. Nothing like some of the GAs I've reviewed!! The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 12:08, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Okay, back for more, please. Harrias ^talk 08:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing I didn't note the first time round is the "n.a."s in the fair use justification, those need to be fixed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 07:55, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man:Cheers: I've changed it to a logo specific rationale table, which should have sorted that. Harrias ^talk 09:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All good, happy to promote now. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 10:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
