Template:ESPNcricinfo 2/series

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The template ESPNcricinfo 2 is used to generate an external link to a web page at ESPNcricinfo. It should be used on cricket-related pages in the external links section or as a citation using the |access-date= parameter.

• Only one of them should be used at once. If both are used together |ref= will be ignored.
  • scorecard function only supports |id=.
  • series, tournament, trophy and player functions support both parameters.
