Feedback

Ian, since you are looking for feedback :
1. There is nothing saying for what date are the records 'correct upto'- when the records were last updated, except for the Test results at the top. Tintin 4 July 2005 08:59 (UTC)

Other than the test results, and assuming they're correct, I don't feel that the other tables really need a 'corect up to'. They are after all records and would generally not change all that often.-Ian ≡ talk 7 July 2005 08:30 (UTC)

2. The seasons are wrong in many cases - often instead of 1928/29, we have only 1928. Tintin 4 July 2005 08:59 (UTC)

Also, I thought the next Test to be played was Sri Lanka v West Indies, not England v Australia, jguk 4 July 2005 11:22 (UTC)

Judging by the team West Indies are likely to put out, I doubt it can be called a Test in anyone's minds but the ICC's...Good work on the article, btw. I made a quick scan through it and it looked good (although others have found faults). Sam Vimes 4 July 2005 21:55 (UTC)
