Seems a pointless exercise especially as there have been international cricket seasons since 1859. Superfluous template given the WP:CRIC categorisation structure which amply covers international cricket by date. --Jack | talk page15:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)reply
Keep If the competitions go back to 1859, the solution is to expand not delete. Secondly, categories and templates serve different purposes, and in this case it's appropriate to have both.

Keep, but only if the structure that I've made the template into is kept. The old one was just obnoxious and a complete abuse of what a navbox is. --

If the "staggered format" is returned to (or another of similar variant), I'd like the closing admin to count my above !vote as a delete. There simply isn't space in a template to go back to 1859 if something like that format is used. --

My conclusion is not based on the number of links but on the horrible formatting of the template, which is basically an abuse of a navbox to represent information in a way it is not meant to. I have no objection to representing the seasons in a navbox. I have rather large objection in attempting to present them in the way which is done here. --

Why not format it similar to
Template:NCAA football bowl season navbox with the seasons listed like: 2000–01 • 2001 • 2001–02 • 2002 • 2002–03 • 2003. This way you can efficiently link (or readlink) to every season since the mid 1800s. I honestly don't see what the need is for having staggered seasons and multiple rows for the mid-year and end-of-year seasons.

Delete - Seems to have been deprecated by someone or another. Splitting from the current navbox makes no sense in this case. --
