Talk:Australian cricket team in England in 1948

message: Just a question,..    Why does this article state "... should be noted that the English sides were more weakened by the effects of the Second World War than the Australian side...?"   WWII affected Australia just as much as it did the Old Enemy.  Surely it can't be a simple equation of "...we lost X of our Test cricketers in the War and you lost X-1..."
I think this sentence should be removed.  I'd welcome any comments???

replies: text: It is a tad vague, England had played 13 post-War Tests prior to the 1948 series, so it wasn't as if it was the next day or anything.   Though Jack Pollard puts it this way: "This was an England recovering from a savage war in which food and clothing rationing prevailed, luxuries were short, and steaks a rarity, while many of the grounds visited by the Australians still bore traces of wartime bombimg raids"  --Paul 19:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Not really important but I notice that all dates in this article are in the American month before day format (e.g., July 15, 1948).  Is this format normally used in Australia or is it the standard British format of day before month (e.g., 15 July 1948)?  If Australia uses the latter, and given that 90% of the action takes place in England, it would be correct to alter all dates to the British style.  --Jack | talk page 06:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In my experience, both are used in Australia, although it is always "15/7/1948" in short form. However, for the purposes of Wikipedia, Australian articles almost always use "15 June 1948". -- Mattinbgn\talk 06:52, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Australian cricket team in England in 1948's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "fc":
From Ray Lindwall with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948: 
From Ron Hamence with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948: 
From Sam Loxton with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
