Final

As per Scorecard it shows AUS V NZ. Because Australia is Home team. so we can change as per Scorecard. - SRiNu (talk) 28 March 2015, 06:07 (UTC)

See the tournament bracket, which shows New Zealand on top. Also, see the official ICC World Cup page and their fixtures list, both of which put New Zealand first. – Pee Jay 09:40, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! we need a new picture of the MCG! That one is Ancient. 115.42.0.9 (talk) 13:20, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had first put in a better-definition one but it had AFL markings. The current one looks like a badly rendered PS1 game '''tAD''' (talk) 13:21, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only cricket one on Wikimedia (assuming it's the 1992 final one). The newest one is the one on 2015 Cricket World Cup squads, but it's clearly got AFL markings on it. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:23, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So we had some new pictures, but seems they've been deleted from Wikimedia. Also the user who uploaded them is blocked as a sockpuppet. So, 1992 MCG or 2010 MCG that's clearly an AFL pitch? Joseph2302 (talk) 23:09, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What about this File:MCG August 2007.jpg. Still eight years old, but as it doesn't show the inside it fits with this article unlike the AFL one. AIRcorn (talk) 02:33, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. I've added it to the article. Modest Genius ^talk 11:22, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Record Crowd

I'd hate to seem pedantic but should it perhaps say record crowd for a single day of cricket in Australia rather than a match record? I'd think the test where close to 90,000 were there on a single day would have had a higher overall match figure. Tigerman2005 (talk) 00:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair call. Changed to your recomendation. AIRcorn (talk) 06:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
