Scorecard links edit

Is there any particular reason why all the scorecard links are to cricket.com.au rather than espncricinfo.com, as they usually are? StAnselm (talk) 20:31, 10 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

I don't think CI had the scorecards at the time of the fixtures being added here. They should be changed from the current ones to Cricinfo. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:19, 11 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Abandoned vs Drawn edit

For the round six match. While press reports say something like "the match was abandoned" (or similar), I believe it should be listed as a drawn match. Here it states - "A match can be "abandoned" if weather or other conditions prevent any play from occurring at all. If the bowler of the first over of play has not started his/her runup when the officials decide to abandon play then the result is termed 'abandoned without a ball being bowled'." Therefore, as some play took place, it should be a draw? Compare for other first-class matches that have a toss, some play, and then no further play due to rain.
