[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Leicestershire logo.jpg

Image:Leicestershire logo.jpg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] 4 fours

As far as I am aware, 4/fours are not notable, not compared to 5 fors, and not generally recorded anyway, so I have removed it for now. Any objections and it can be reinstated. SGGH ^speak! 01:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Four-fors are considered notable and often tracked in limited-overs cricket, due to the rarity of five-fors compared to first class cricket. In first class cricket only five wickets in an innings and ten wickets in a match are added to a bowler's record, it is true.

On another matter, I don't see why a citation would be needed about Broad having had the misfortune to be hit for six sixes in an over by Yuvraj Singh. As the article states, this has happened only four times ever in senior cricket, and most knowledgeable cricket lovers would be able to recall at least the four batsmen that did it off the tops of their heads, if not necessarily all four bowlers and occasions. If some sort of link to a match report is of help to sceptics, here's one:
