Fixed Links[edit]

I went ahead and fixed a bunch of dupe and/or broken links here, and cleaned up the grammar a little bit. And while I agree that much of this article needs to be sourced, I, being from the USA, don't have many decent sources to go on. Anybody with some good sources, please help us clean this up!

I've merged this page together with the four (cricket) and six (cricket) pages. There was a lot of duplication (particularly between the four and six pages) and I thought it would be better to have just one page. Jongarrettuk 09:15, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Just changed the Sanath Jayasuriya 11 sixes record, it was actually done in April 1996 and not in the 1994/95 season as it says. Also I've added 2 six related records by Shahid Afridi. --Zohab 10:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also someone should make sure that the Chris Cairns record is updated, because Adam Gilchrist is only 2 sixes behind him and will most likely break this record in the current test matches against the West Indies. --Zohab 10:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are a lot of statements in this article without sources, and I suggest it may not be very accurate. MilesDependent 11:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources and article structure[edit]

Would anyone object to sourcing some of the statements of achievements from Wisden? I'll start compiling; I'd appreciate another point of view.

As to the structure of the article, it seems like it needs to explain the 2nd meaning of the word boundary, which is the scoring of 4 or 6 runs by causing the ball to cross the boundary (first def'n) rope. --AndrewHowse 22:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Records[edit]

Is Mascarenhas' five sixes in the final over in England's one day test win over India on 5 September 2007 a record[1]? --Legis (talk - contribs) 14:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It might be a record for a ODI in England, but it's not the ODI record - Gibbs scored 6 sixes for S Africa in the 2007 World Cup, and that's noted in the article somewhere I think. --AndrewHowse 14:51, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Accuracy or pedantry?[edit]

There were seven boundaries and three sixes in the innings" is common usage, which meaning is easily understood. I don't quite understand the purpose of the prim correction which follows this. Aside from anything else, it would sound ridiculous for a commentator to say. Hanoi Road (talk) 20:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this, the laws themselves say "Boundary 4" and "Boundary 6". GreekApple123 (talk) 17:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
