Differentiating Lords and The Oval is a fine idea, but this Australian who has followed Test Cricket for nearly 70 years has never heard of Kennington. (Nor, I now notice, has my spellchecker.) Maybe find a better way?

Can we make a small mention in
2023_Ashes_series#Second_Test? As the dismissal has generated significant media coverage in England and Australia, even the British PM commenting. Although it is covered in Alex Carey's article (where I got the original text from).

Perhaps something could go there, so long as it was VERY balanced (Not sure how you would achieve that), and also took into account
WP:RECENT. Cricket scores are forever, and WILL be looked at in 100 years times, if the past is any sort of a guide. A drama around one dismissal, not so much.

I need this article's TOC in order to reference and access a particular section, e.g., "Fifth Test". Why is there no TOC, and is there any other way I can reference a single section or subsesction? I notice that "#Matches" works for that main section, but the # won't work for "Fifth Test".

G'day @
SKAG123. Like you, I'm generally reluctant to capinitialise a common noun, and I gave much thought to doing so
here, which you've reverted without clear reason. OK, now let's have your justification, please. My consistency edit was based on a simple Ctrl-F search of the article which showed Test=99 matches, Tests=22 matches, test=0 matches, tests=2 matches. So what will you do now? Will you change them all to lower-case (which, I'm sure, will bring on a more serious argument) or undo your hasty revert. Which is it to be? Regards,

Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/The Nets/Style advice is clear: Always use capital T when referring to Test cricket and in any situation where the definite article is part of a title: e.g., in a Test match at The Oval, England won The Ashes. It should always be Test match, which shortens to Test. This is consistent with all other cricket articles.
