re: the section in the article...
"Yorkshire CCC has repeatedly stated that it represents the true, traditional county of Yorkshire, that is, the three ridings and the city of York."
There is an area to the west of York that included the parish I was born in, Acomb, called 'The Ainsty', connected to and administered from the city of York and not part of the West Riding. Therefore it's my belief the above comment should read...
"Yorkshire CCC has repeatedly stated that it represents the true, traditional county of Yorkshire, that is, the three ridings and the city and Ainsty of York."
I added a bit to try to explain the Yorkshire Phoenix redirect today. I'm not overly happy with my explanation so if anyone could rewrite it that'd be grand. 194.203.110.127 11:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I have done a major revamp of the article. Pinning dressing room disharmony on Boycott has been removed pending a citation and I have detached the 'Yorkshire born' rule from the lack of ethnic players, again due to lack of citation.
Certain areas require developing:
BlueValour 27 May 2006 http://www.terriers.me.uk/
I have reverted the edit suggesting that Yorkshire have played county cricket outside the traditional boundaries. Cricket had been played at Abbeydale Park, in the village of Dore, south-west Sheffield but only since 1946.[1] Dore, though once part of Derbyshire became a constituent of Sheffield, and hence the West Riding (did I really say South Riding in an edit summary :-( ) in 1934 - see Totley#History and geography. TerriersFan 04:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I've pasted this section into the talk page so it can be discussed rather than the article reverted, without fear of being lost. Yorkshire Phoenix 09:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
See also: List of Yorkshire CCC players |
I have reverted the deletion of notable players. These list are normal in articles on sporting clubs. They are always POV but we should live with that. If you feel that the list is wrong (I have taken Bird out and put Jackson and Peel in), please feel free to edit it. TerriersFan 16:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't Shahzad, Richard Blakey, Richard Dawson and Adil Rashid be in the list of international players? Rja211077 (talk) 14:25, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Please leave this section near the bottom of the article. It is a reference section and should be below descriptive text. TerriersFan 02:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I have removed this. The background is given here. In 1888 the traditional boundaries of Yorkshire were intact so we can take Ainsty to be part of the West Riding. TerriersFan 02:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Yorkshire played at the ground for many years, but the article concentrates almost exclusively on the defunct football club, to the extent that you get redirected to an article with "FC" in its title. Does anyone who knows more about Yorkshire CCC history than I do, feel like adding a decent section about Yorkshire's matches there? I've added a one sentence mention, but there should be more than that. JH (talk page) 21:06, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering how you created this?
I'm trying to revamp my county's page and would like to add it. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daz1865 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
looking at his talk page, he's created a page for a player at Leicestershire County Cricket Club so I'm presuming that's his county, I've added the unsigned template to his comment. Chappy TC 11:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Most of this article is absolute drivel.
1.An over emphasis on the last 10 years
2.Unsubstantiated rubbish on the Boycott era - what were the factions - says who? about what?
3.Nothing really on the real hsitory and back ground.
4.Correctly the famous players has been removed as it is something one might find in a kiddies book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.216.183 (talk) 22:58, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Little has been taken from authorative texts except the stats. What were the featherbed pitches of the thirties - they were uncovered - all rubbish - it should be deleted and re-written —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.216.183 (talk) 23:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
I have removed the record section from the end of the article and placed it here for the moment. I'm not sure if anyone actually likes these sections in the county articles and really such information belongs at an official Yorkshire site or on CricketArchive. As it is, it's way too long and I'm eventually hoping to put back a very truncated section (e.g. the highest total, score, aggregate, etc, rather than a long list). Obviously, if anyone feels strongly, feel free to argue here. I'd prefer to discuss it before it is put back. --Sarastro1 (talk) 00:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
This section begins with a cross-reference to Sheffield Cricket Club and it is immediately apparent that the details given in the Sheffield article do not comply with those in earliest Yorkshire. For example, the piece about cockfighting is a 1757 reference in Sheffield, not 1751. It seems to me that there is an over-reliance on two main sources in the Yorkshire article and I am dubious about Hodgson in particular.
In addition, there is a glaring error where the Darnall Ground (dated 1820s) is mentioned in connection with overarm bowling. I know for a fact that overarm began in the 1860s so is this to do with roundarm? In any case, why does it precede matches against Nottingham which took place 50 years earlier?
I think a lot of work is needed here and I especially believe that many more sources should be consulted and not just so-called "official histories". --Mykleavens (talk) 11:07, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
I have rewritten much of this section by copying relevant text and sources from the Sheffield article. --Mykleavens (talk) 12:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
After copying the source in the Sheffield article, I notice it contains a wikilink to G. B. Buckley, the author of the source in question. Having read the article about Buckley, I think it is safe to assume that he is the more credible author as he evidently drew his material direct from primary sources in the 18th century. In addition, he has been recommended by John Arlott, no less. I doubt if Hodgson, Kilburn or Woodhouse worked to his level of detail. I believe, therefore, that the article now has an accurate account of Yorkshire cricket's early history. --Mykleavens (talk) 08:00, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
I notice in the squad section that Gurman Randhawa has a red link because there is no article about him. I assume this is because he has not yet played for the first team and so does not meet the site's guidelines on article qualification. Presumably a cricketer must have a first-class record to qualify; or must have played in an international, perhaps? Can anyone point out what these rules are relating to cricketers?
I would have thought that Randhawa should have an article as he is a member of Yorkshire's squad, but is that enough? --Mykleavens (talk) 09:00, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Many thanks. That explains it well. Randhawa may have an article when he makes his first appearance in a first-class or ListA match. I think we will definitely see him this season. --Mykleavens (talk) 16:02, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
I've been restructuring the article to try and comply with standards in other articles about sporting clubs, some of which are star rated. This is why there are now a couple of headings with no content as yet.
I think we need to be very careful of overdoing the history sections. I believe we should create supplementary articles which cover historical periods in depth and restrict the coverage in this article to overviews of each period. --Mykleavens (talk) 20:50, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Not really being into cricket articles, but the appearance of the Honours section at the top of the article seems to break up any flow and I would have expected this to have been down the bottom as is generally the case in other sporting articles. Keith D (talk) 22:41, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
This cites Rafiq as being the first player of Asian origin to captain England at any level. However Nasser Hussain, born in India, captained England prior to him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JenCousins (talk • contribs) 16:14, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
