Comments

"known for sponsorship purposes as the 2010 Friends Provident t20 Final" this isn't mentioned in the article, just the lead, and isn't ref'ed.
- Added into Background. Harrias ^talk 07:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Could mention the umpires in the lead.
- Don't think they warrant a mention. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Any idea of the attendance?
- Bizarrely, no. It was clearly a sell out (although technically, a lot of supporters of the losing semi-finalists left before the final). It must be somewhere, but I can't see anything about it. Will keeping looking. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Twenty20 competition" do you mean "Twenty20 Cup" here?
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
" their third final and " drop "final".
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"won the title based on the fact they had lost fewer" -> "won the title having lost fewer"
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
'Benson & Hedges Cup' why in apostrophes?
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"to leave the county" probably better to say "club"
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"given odds of 8–1 by" doesn't sound great for a favourite, but could be more easily understood if you said how many teams were in the contest.
- I have added more context. Harrias ^talk 07:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"they were touted" Somerset were touted...
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Link "ball" first time.
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
D–L uses an en-dash.
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
" as "murky". Kieswetter" ref quote.
- It is covered by the next reference. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
" he'd faced" he had..
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"got out " -> "were dismissed"
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Might need to link fielding positions.
- Added some links. Harrias ^talk 07:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"inside edge " jargon? Link?
- Linked. Harrias ^talk 07:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"and 2 sixes" two.
- I find that placing two numbers next to each other in the same format is a tad confusing: "two sixes" or "2 6s". Hence I mis-match: "2 sixes" or "two 6s". Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Link "run out".
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"not lbw" you didn't abbreviate this before i.e. (lbw) after the linked expanded version.
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"the Daily Telegraph," -> "The Daily Telegraph"
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Link "laws" to Laws of Cricket.
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"In the 2011 Twenty20 Cup, Hampshire.." hereafter all unreferenced.
- Oops, missed this one. References now. Harrias ^talk 07:50, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Spaced hyphens in the ref titles should be spaced en-dashes.
- Done. Harrias ^talk 21:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have, on hold. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Cheers for the review as always. I have responded to each above. Feel free to be harsh, this is one that I hope to move onto FA at some point in the future. Harrias ^talk 07:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. It easily passes GA criteria so I'm promoting. If you do take it to FAC, ping me and I'll make sure it gets at least one review!! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:55, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
