message: I think this needs a toss field as especially in day/night games this can be very important. Flagging day/night games is another question though :) --Bedders 11:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, the trouble is going through 40-50 pages and replacing them with toss information. I think they should be substituted anyway, though, the template is very badly formatted and puts too many constraints on people. Sam Vimes | Address me 21:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If there are problems with the template then that should result in the template being modified - not being subst'ed - that defeats the point of having the template and prevents the consistent look and feel. -- Chuq 03:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: With the merger of the former Template:Cricketbox into this one whilst its format was carried over into here, a discussion should be raised into which set of paramaters should be used. Personally I'd eventually go with the simplicity of the second one since it would be less strenuous for editors when editing a page, but I guess this is open for all suggestions. It does say at the top of this page that the top version should eventually be used, so please leave your thoughts here. Cheers, --mdmanser 05:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I think the second one is far better. The first one goes over the top with to many variables and is to specific such that it causes problems. The big one has no way to include D/L details and has problem with tied matches. The small one has the (report) thing instead of having to squeeze in a reference. The only thing the first one does good is that it forces users to use the same format (in terms of players names, umpires names, initials, country etc).--Dacium 21:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agree here, having added in a large amount of these over the past few days I can say that the second is more concise, easier to read, as well as being better designed and implemented. Personally I would propose moving over the second form for *everything* as soon as possible - and if this would be supported by WP:Cricket I'd be happy to help out in moving some of the older templates over to the newer one.

message: What is better:
22 from 50 balls not out or 22 from 21 balls out? Guy0307 03:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Usually number of balls is ignored. So 22 not out beats 22, regardless of the number of balls. It is not so much meant to put the best batsmen, rather the higher score, with not out being considered higher than out. This is the same with bowlers, most wickets wins reguardless, so 3/100 in 10 overs would still be 2/4 from 10 overs as the 'top' bowling. Also 2/4 from 1 over would still beat 2/6 from 10 overs etc as conseeded less runs, balls are ignored and only used if all else is equal. If this is also equal then person who achieved the score first is awarded it (example two batsmen 50 from 40, the earlier batsmen is listed)--Dacium 10:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Same amount of runs 

message: I have created a new template for use in 2008 Indian Premier League and in subsequent seasons and have implemented it there. It is currently in use on that page. It was designed to be in use with the template for Limited Overs Matches (not to alter this template). The template was to be used by inserting some code into the values for the 3 fields in this template marked "team1", "team2" and "result", instead of listing the relevant team names in these fields. The result of this was the following:
:1) Next to each team there would be a "team colour icon" containing the colour(s) of the team in question, similar to how flags are used for national team score summaries.
:2) Instead of always having the home team listed in the first column, this column would always contain the team batting first.
:3) To compensate for the loss of information about which team is the home team, a "(H)" symbol would appear next to the home team's name in every match.
However, there has been some resistance to these changes, as well as the suggestion that the discussion of this new template belongs on this discussion page. As such I have copied all of the discussion so far to this page in the form of the following 2 sections, so that the discussion can continue here. Juwe (talk) 13:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template for IPL matches and previous discussion 

message: Looking at the Template documentation for this page, the addition of "With Longer Name Here" to the 2 team names (I think) detracts from the page and I am removing it. For a start, it seems unnecessary, as it is apparent that whatever the relevant team names are they should be entered in the "team1" and "team2" parameters, and that their appearance on the page itself (if they are long names) would simply extend into the vacant space. Secondly, it looks confusing. The example scorecard is for a match between South Africa and the Netherlands. However, the documentation gives the impression that some other words should be added to the page (eg  National Cricket Team), when I don't think that is the intended message of the editor. Thirdly, the South Africa part looks bad, with the flag in between the words "South Africa" and "With Longer Name Here". Juwe (talk) 03:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This template is one of several I have come across, that forces fields to become wikilinks.
Unfortunately, how to deal with disambiguation is not obvious, see this diff.

replies: text: I've added one for the toss, but I don't know that attendances are commonly recorded statistics for cricket matches. – PeeJay 23:19, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I have no problem with using initials for first name, but in the Result column, team flag should be used instead of only Australia it should be  won by 100 runs as it was in the older format and as it is in most of the old cricket tour articles, Seconldy 'rain' should be renamed to 'notes' because there are all kinds of different things added in that section, Thanks.--Managerarc (talk) 18:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I have added a day-night notification image, which I feel is great visually! Discuss if the location needs to be changed or it needs to be plain text.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashwinikalantri (talk • contribs) 17:05, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Using an image is pointless when text performs exactly the same job, especially when the image includes only three characters that can be easily be replicated as text! – PeeJay 18:24, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The image is visually better than just D/N text. In future, if you want to make changes, discuss first.--ashwinikalantri (talk • contribs) 20:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean just like you discussed adding the "day/night" parameter in the first place? Anyway, Wikipedia has guidelines against frivolous use of icons. – PeeJay 02:15, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Kindly quote these guidelines. If you have a problem with the day/night parameter. You dont own this template. Deleting changes made by others just because you think differently without discussing is Vandalism. This is a final warning. Dont make changes without discussing. --ashwinikalantri (talk • contribs) 15:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Who made you an administrator all of a sudden? You made an undiscussed change as well, so don't give me that claptrap. Unlike some people, I don't know the Wikipedia guidelines off by heart, so it takes a while to track down where I found particular guidelines. Anyway, leave the template as it is until someone else comes in with an opinion. – PeeJay 16:39, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi all, Should this template title name would be changed to Double-innings cricket match because in cricket matches except Test we have double innings. Hope for your positive response. Thank you! Fade258 (talk) 09:10, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
