   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• Wikilink toss to Toss (cricket) and man of the match to its respective article
  • Done. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
• "to complete a dominating nine wicket victory with more than twenty overs remaining." - not so sure that the word "dominating" is appropriate on this encyclopedia
  • Switch to dominant. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Background

• "Somerset came into the competition as holders," - wikilink Somerset to Somerset County Cricket Club on the first mention in the prose
  • Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
• ESPNcricinfo needs a wikilink
  • Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Route to the final

• "and then made their Benson & Hedges Cup score," - am pretty certain the word "highest" is missing from this sentence
  • Indeed, added. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Summary

• Wikilink toss to Toss (cricket) and man of the match to its respective article
  • Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
• "and after keeping Paul Todd on his back foot" - try to reword the text in bold to something more formal
  • It's not informal, it's just a technical term. I have wikilinked to an appropriate article. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
• "Hassan was later caught behind playing a reckless shot off" - the word "reckless" sounds somewhat like sports journalism in this instance
  • Trimmed. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
• "neither consistently attacking of defending." - typo; should be spelled as or
  • Fixed. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Aftermath

• Eric Hill should be wikilinked to Eric Hill (cricketer)
  • Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
• "by winning the 1987 NatWest Trophy and the 1989 Benson & Hedges Cup.[13][1]" - refs in numerical order please
  • MOS:REF specifically states that "References need not be moved solely to maintain the chronological order of footnotes as they appear in the article.." But it's no biggie, so fixed. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

References

• I believe Reference 3 is missing the chapter as has been done with the other uses of the Wisden sources
  • Added. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
• Henry Blofeld in Reference 10 should be wikilinked and the same for Eric Hill in Reference 12
  • Linked. Harrias ^talk 10:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Those were the issues I found. On hold. MWright96 (talk) 09:49, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
