Cricket was established in Britain and this sport includes a lot of teamwork and focuses on ones mental and physical ability 117.220.249.227 ( talk) 05:49, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
At the beginning of the article it specifies that the length of a cricket pitch is 20 metres (22 yards), this really should be 22 yards with the approximation of 20 metres in brackets. A cricket pitch is more accurately one chain (old imperial measurement) in length which is equal to 22 yards ' https://www.lords.org/mcc/the-laws-of-cricket/the-pitch', saying that it's 20 metres is incorrect.

Regarding this edit ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Cricket&oldid=prev&diff=979515623&diffmode=source), unless there is a source showing batsmen aren't allowed to make their ground in any part of the green areas (except for cases of Obstructing the field), the diagram should remain as a factual representation of what the Laws say.

Is C10 a fictional name? It's used prominently in the TV series "Last Man Out" of Midsomer Murders, while I do not see any references for that name anywhere here. [1] -- Traut ( talk) 19:45, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
I see that this article usually refers to those who bat as batsmen (or batsman when one is being mentioned), but I do see "batter" a few times near the beginning of the article.
Now, I'm not into sports and know nothing about cricket - but I've always understood that the term "batter" is incorrect in cricket (even though correct in baseball); it was always "batsman".
Am I correct in this belief? If this is so, then "batter" should probably be changed to "batsman".
Then, with the rising prominence of women's cricket, what are women who bat called? Is there an official term? Batswoman? Batsman? Batsperson?!
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks. M.J.E. ( talk) 11:16, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

I keep hearing about cricket and wondered what it was, but I'll be damned if I'm going to jump down all those blue lazy-link rabbit holes on the page just to find out. It is so much easier to create an inline link than it is to explain yourself. That would require thought and effort. Nor will the typical reader who simply wants to know what the meaning of another sentence in a Wikipedia article that he actually cares about. Especially after getting burned on this page. It's so much easier to create a lazy-link than it is to actually spend the effort and time for good writing to explain the subject. Nobody with a sane mind wants to jump down a blue rabbit hole lazy-link anymore, due to this abuse. This damages Wikipedia. Often a lazy link can be avoided with just a few extra words because the reader only wants to make sense of the sentence not a complete education in a whole other topic.
"Rabbit hole?" Take "wicket" for example. It is completely unexplained, how lazy can you be? Explanation is the PURPOSE of Wiki pages. NOT AIMLESSLY MUSING ALOUD ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE SPORT. But if you click on the dreaded lazy link, you still don't find out, —what do you discover down that rabbit hole? Just what you thought....A whole bunch of other required lazy links! More aimless feelsgood chatter about their favorite sport. Your shitten' me right?...you expect people to do that stuff!? Do I look stupid? Like we want to spend the day to get an education to find out what the hell cricket is, in this example? Like we come here for a whole damn education!? Like we have a whole day to burn? Inline links are designed to add supplemental information not substitute for clear, clean writing. But good writing is not for the lazy. Wikipedia guidelines are clear about this matter. This page does not meet Wikipedia standards.

In a number of articles on Wikipedia that related to cricket, the link to a citation goes to a website that requires payment. For example, I just came across such links in the article on Vijay Hazare Trophy. The specific website behind a paywall that is linked there is CricketArchive. That is not the only article. I think links behind paywalls should not be used especially when there are sites that have the same information for free. I know I could have changed one link, but that would not have solved the problem. This is an epidemic and needs to be addressed by Wikipedia editors in a different manner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:e88d:1020::42 ( talk • contribs) 00:00, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. It was argued that Cricket (sport) lacks long-term significance against Cricket (insect) highlighting the duration of their existence. However, it was deemed to lacking in substance, as 400 years is determined to not be "recent". Pageviews, WP:GHITS, and WikiNav evidence were presented. In all cases, the sport far exceeds the numbers of the insect. In pageviews, insect never exceeds 46k views at any point of the available dataset, the sport never dips below 89k, with monthly averages of 23k vs 146k. In GHITS, sport exceeds insect overall, and in most countries also (including the most populated ones). In clickstream data, only a tiny fraction of viewers of the sport went on to the insect or the dab, indicating that most viewers found what they were looking for. One opposer argued to "avoid unnecessary additional navigation when it affects the vast majority of readers". Since the supporting arguments were countered very well by the opposing arguments, the page remains not moved. Best.

– Having looked at all the previous discussions, I think !voters are overthinking. Cricket widely refers to both a sport, and an insect.
You may consider pageviews, however long-term significance is important as well (frankly the insect has been around for millions of years [3], while the sport has been around since the 16th century).
Do not no !vote for an oppose and speedy close, just because I have reopened a controversial discussion, please.

At this writing, the article states that polishing the ball with saliva is legal, citing a 2017 version of the laws. This no longer appears to be the case, as of 2022: see Laws, 41.3.2.1, and this 2022 article. Unfortunately, I know little about cricket, so am reluctant to update the article myself lest I introduce error. Could someone who knows the subject better than I undertake that revision? Thanks.

This article says that “the earliest definite reference to cricket being played comes from evidence given at a court case in Guildford on Monday, 17 January 1597 ( Julian calendar; equating to 30 January 1598 in the Gregorian calendar).”, but this description is not correct. Monday, 17 January 1597 in the Julian calendar is not 30 January 1598 but 27 January 1597 in the Gregorian calendar.

Hi! Just thought it might be beneficial if a section was added about cricket as a form of cultural exchange and/or colonialism in the British Empire.

– Having looked at all the previous discussions, I think !voters are overthinking. Cricket widely refers to both a sport, and an insect.
You may consider pageviews, however long-term significance is important as well (frankly the insect has been around for millions of years [3], while the sport has been around since the 16th century).
Do not no !vote for an oppose and speedy close, just because I have reopened a controversial discussion, please.
Can we simply copy what is done with Mercury, as in having Mercury (planet), Mercury (planet), and Mercury (mythology)? 90.255.6.219 ( talk) 06:56, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Add that Twenty20 is also known as T20, and clarify that games can last up to 3-4 hours, rather than just 3. Bpt5yda ( talk) 20:42, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
At this writing, the article states that polishing the ball with saliva is legal, citing a 2017 version of the laws. This no longer appears to be the case, as of 2022: see Laws, 41.3.2.1, and this 2022 article. Unfortunately, I know little about cricket, so am reluctant to update the article myself lest I introduce error. Could someone who knows the subject better than I undertake that revision? Thanks.

This article says that “the earliest definite reference to cricket being played comes from evidence given at a court case in Guildford on Monday, 17 January 1597 ( Julian calendar; equating to 30 January 1598 in the Gregorian calendar).”, but this description is not correct. Monday, 17 January 1597 in the Julian calendar is not 30 January 1598 but 27 January 1597 in the Gregorian calendar. Can anyone show a more reliable source of the date? -- 鵺草 ( talk) 21:59, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi! Just thought it might be beneficial if a section was added about cricket as a form of cultural exchange and/or colonialism in the British Empire. It has served as a metaphor in many types of media and I think even bringing it up would be a good aspect of the topic that is not discussed as much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omaurer ( talk • contribs) 21:26, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
