"England refused to play in Zimbabwe on political grounds"
I thought the official story was that the British government wished to cancel the game on political grounds, but the MCC refused to cooperate, then ended up cancelling anyway on the grounds the team might not be safe. Andy G 00:27, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)
From BBC Sport [1]
December 2002
The British government gradually increases pressure on English cricket authorities to pull out of the match, fearing that it will be seen as a message of support for Mugabe.
However, Prime Minister Tony Blair stresses that the government has no power to force a boycott.
January 2002
The British government confirms that no compensation will be paid to the ECB if they withdraw from the game in Harare.

This article seems to be in a reasonable shape for the content it has: there's no doubt it needs expansion, but I feel it's been cleaned up sufficiently for the removal of the tag. Thoughts?
I've also added the mini-scorecards today - took a few days but it wasn't too bad. If people would be kind enough to look through the links and make sure there are no links to redirect/disambig pages that'd be a huge help. I'm pretty sure it's correct for the most part, but I think it'd be worth a second look by someone. AllynJ 18:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone find a source for the above statement? I haven't removed it as, although it does not have a reference, I'm aware it's true: however after an hour or two of trying to find a page, article or statement that proves it I've come up empty handed. AllynJ 19:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
It's not a quote, therefore it doesn't need a reference to say exactly those words. Cricinfo identifies a list of the World Cups here: [2]. That should be a good enough source to identify that this is the first in Africa! -- Dave. 12:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
No 'Man of the Series' was awarded in 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1987. The first was awarded in 1993. The award was changed to 'Player of the Tournament' in 1999 and then to 'Player of the Series' in 2003 - Ctbolt 03:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

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.

Potchefstroom as indicated on the map is in the wrong place. This needs to be fixed, however I don't know how to do it... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.89.6 ( talk) 19:24, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

the India Kenya semifinal overview uses the term "careered" to describe both India's batting and fielding scores. The term though doesn't just imply speed but also implies unpredictability. I'm not sure this repeated use is appropriate, or if it is appropriate to describe either case to be honest. What was unpredictable about it considering India being heavy favorites and Kenya's tournement described as a Cinderella run? Rs180216 ( talk) 20:29, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
