Indians in Pakistan

As per Cricinfo [1], the series has been pushed back. The test matches will start on Jan 14 instead of Jan 5. Can someone please verify this is correct? Can I update the schedule on this page? - Ganeshk 17:56, 22 December fuck (UTC)

Found a reference on rediff.com and updated the schedule. ODI schedule does not sound right though since the last test ends on Feb 3rd. - Ganeshk 17:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Found the five rescheduled ODI dates on cricketarchive, so they're now updated and sorted. Sam Vimes 21:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Chronological order

I am thinking this article would be organized much better (chronologically) if we add month headers first and then put all the series under it as a sub-heading. For example,

==January==

===Indians in Pakistan===

Your thoughts? -Ganeshk 07:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Probably wise. I think it's chronological now (by start of series), but I agree that 45 sections is a slight overkill. I'll do it now. Sam Vimes 10:39, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Um, could you tell me why the whole of 2006 is now before 2005? It seems odd to have them in non-chronological order - perhaps the years should be written after the headings (so ==January 2006==) but that's no reason to have April 2006 come just before August 2005? Sam Vimes 17:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the mess. I was thinking the page is listing only the 2006 ones. Now its back to where it was. Sorry about that. - Ganeshk 19:39, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the Template for 05-06 too. Please check and let me know if that is okay. - Ganeshk 23:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely! Thanks. Merely going to make a few additions and remove the duplicate of England A in West Indies, but good otherwise Sam Vimes 23:52, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Template changes

I added the Bangladesh v Sri Lanka. I added a new category to the template named International cricket competions in 2005-06. I have put this category under International cricket competions. It will better organize the matches. Hope that is fine with you. - Ganeshk 21:51, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

VB series

does anyone have the exact results for the first 6 matches, which are now completed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doublez (talk • contribs) .

Check out the article itself. - Ganeshk (talk) 00:43, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Next Year

Seeing as April is the last month in the 2005-06 season, and only a month away, should someone not start laying out the template for the 2006 season or the 06-07 season? Tony2Times 01:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please check this. - Ganeshk (talk) 15:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to this, all matches until July 2006 (New Zealand in Australia) should go into this article. Once we finish that, we could create a template for the 2006-07 season. -Ganeshk (talk) 07:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm...how about these matches? Sam Vimes 07:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sam, was not sure. I feel they should go into 2005-06. What do you think? :) - Ganeshk (talk) 07:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As we've got International cricket in 2005, I feel that although it is slightly nonsensical to non-cricket fans, we should use the common season designation and start a page on International cricket in 2006. Sam Vimes 08:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ODI Template

I have filled in all the relevent fields for the first ODI between India and England but nothing has showed up, can anyone explain why?Tony2Times 15:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the comment tags  that were surrounding them. Now fixed. Sam Vimes 16:50, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks muchly. I'll have to remember that in future, by the way could there be/is there such a template for Test matches? Tony2Times 19:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, at {{First Class Matches}}. Sam Vimes 19:37, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will make things a lot easier, shame it doesn't show top-two statistics of each side though, prefer it like that. Rather keep it all the same though.

Tony2Times 22:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Soz to be a complete hassle but tried using the First Class template in the Aussie/SA Third Test and its coming up blank, tried a few things, not a lot granted, can I be told what's wrong so I won't make the same mistake again. Tony2Times 20:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed now. You enter data by putting {{First Class Matches as the first row, and then fields down like this

batting first flag = Flag of South Africa.svg |
batting first = South Africa |

Note the "|" to end each field. Sam Vimes 20:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see, the template is somewhat misleading. Totally confused me, I'll get it in the future, hopefully no more hiccups. Tony2Times 21:51, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've put a notice on the template talk page which hopefully helps to explain it - and also explains how to use the template in case of a draw, an abandoned match, a tie or gargantuan spiders from Mars stops play Sam Vimes 21:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could I start putting in that template, but blank, in the unplayed First Class matches so people stop using other methods, and surround it with the  paranthesis? Or would that mess something up?Tony2Times 12:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page name

I have moved this page as per International cricket in 2006-07, Category:English cricket tours of Australia, Category:2007 in football (soccer). -- Chuq 01:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
