Unencyclopaedic

I've added the Unencyclopedic tag because it is not a valid article. It is a mass of statistics, all of which are duplicated in the individual tour and series articles, and it represents a clear breach of WP:NOT#STATS. BlackJack | ^{talk page} 05:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is an article showing all of the tours in the one season, individual tour pages have a lot more information then the simple, teams participating and winners. Also why were all countries flags removed, they made the page much easier to find certain teams, and it looks really bland now. Davo499 (talk) 10:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Davo, see here: [1] for why the flags have been removed. JP (talk) 11:57, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boys, the page now looks boring, messy and dull without the flags. The flags were added (to a previous edition of this page) to make it much more readable. I think they must be restored. Also, the page is very encyclopaedic as for any cricket fan every international game is significant.
