[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)
This appears to make a lot of sense. Cricket Australia has today released fixtures for the 2007/2008 season and they are referring to this competition as the "Domestic One Day Series (formerly Ford Ranger Cup)", suggesting that either Ford is changing the name of the vehicle that is to be associated with this competition or has pulled the plug completely. I would imagine that no one will know what the competition is called after a while so it may make more sense to implement a generic name with redirects.--Dave 04:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Isn't it funny how you think of something and go to the talk page to suggest it, to find you have already suggested it 16 months earlier? :P I think it is agreed that it should change, but to what name? I suggest either "Australian domestic one-day cup" or "Australian domestic one-day series" (ignoring punctuation and caps for now) - I don't think the word "cricket" has to be used, as "one-day" implies that. -- Chuq (talk) 06:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Either one is fine by me. Bongomanrae (talk) 09:58, 30 March 2008 (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)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ING Cup Logo.PNG

Image:ING Cup Logo.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.
