Helmet (cricket) → Cricket helmet – Per WP:TITLE criteria, specifically WP:NATURAL, natural disambiguation (e.g. cricket helmet) is preferred to parenthetical disambiguation (e.g. helmet (cricket)). Also note the only other helmet article with parenthetical disambiguation is helmet (heraldry), and this is used because helmets are so important in heraldry but the term "heraldic helmet" rarely appears in reliable sources on that topic.

- Support. Natural disambiguation is overwhelmingly better; proposed title matches cricket ball, cricket bat, cricket cap, etc. IgnorantArmies 05:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Support. Can't believe it isn't already. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 17:02, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Helmets in cricket
editSince the heartfelt furore following Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes demise, doesn't this page deserve an update? I am not new to Wikipedia, I am however a new "account holder". Amongst the reasons I make this suggestion is that: Mr Hughes' fatal injury has raised the question of improved protection; despite the comprehensive media coverage here (Australia) and overseas, no mention has been made of the history behind such things as helmets in cricket- I recall the first World Series Cricket being the instigator.
