Been a while since I did a cricket list, so I thought I'd give this neat little one a go. Should be shipshape, error free, correctly formatted, accessible etc etc, but I welcome all comments and suggestions for improvement. Thank you in advance for any time and effort expended contributing to the process! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:52, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment

  • Just a quick one I noticed, Fidel Edwards, Ryan Harris and James Franklin have got the team the wrong why round. None of them is English. Looks good otherwise. NapHit (talk) 11:05, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed, thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:58, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Can't spot any errors, great work. NapHit (talk) 19:35, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment

  • "It is the home of the Durham County Cricket Club has played host to Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) matches" - think there's some words missing there..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:41, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed, thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:58, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Further comments

  • "It is the home of the Durham County Cricket Club" - don't think the second "the" needs to be there. I've never heard cricket fans refer to "the Kent CCC" or similar......
    Hangover from the list I based this one on. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:00, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "also making him the only bowler to have taken ten wickets in a match at the Riverside" - a Test match, an international match irrespective of format, or any match at all?
    Added "international". The Rambling Man (talk) 12:00, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:53, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers Chris. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:00, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from —Vensatry (ping)
  • "The Riverside has hosted six Test matches" - From the source, I can infer the ground has hosted five Tests.
    Ooooops, fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • " the first of which was in 1999 when Pakistan defeated Scotland by 94 runs in the qualifying round of the 1999 Cricket World Cup" - 1999 appears twice
    Fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "best Test bowling performance" - I prefer figures to performance in this context
    I agree, fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Australian Ryan Harris" - You ought to be more clear since he has a dual citizenship
    I'm not sure about that. In the context of this list, he represented Australia and so I don't see a real necessity to go into his dual citizenship, I'm not sure it would add anything. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Not sure, but when you say 'Australian' I thought it refers to his nationality rather than team. It's safe to say 'Australia cricketer'. —Vensatry (ping) 10:25, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I have changed it to "Australia's". The Rambling Man (talk) 11:29, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would change the piped-link from Australian cricket team in England in 2013 to 2013 Ashes series.
    Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "As of 2015, two bowlers have taken five-wicket hauls ..." - Given that, the ground recently hosted an ODI, it's better to include the month also.
    Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "New Zealand's medium pace bowler James Franklin took 5 wickets for 42 runs against England during their tour in 2004 while England's Graeme Swann achieved 5 for 28 ... " - The usage of while is inappropriate in the sentence.
    Replaced for "and". The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is 'versus' encyclopedic?
    I don't see why not but I've replaced it with "against". The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The batsmen column corresponding to Richard Johnson contains only five entries.
    Travis Friend went walkabout.... Added. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dates for the last three entries should be 9 Aug 2013
    Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Check ref no. 17
    What happened there?! Must have been parallel editing... Good spot. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Vesantry, I would have got to these comments sooner if I hadn't spent the day getting to Nottingham to watch the final death knell of the Aussies! I'll do my best to get to them in the next day or so and will ping you when I'm done. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:56, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Vensatry, I think I've addressed all your comments, thanks again! The Rambling Man (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to have a problem with my username. It's Ven
  • Support – Good list —Vensatry (ping) 16:37, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – The only issue I have is that ref #6 has the author as First Last, while ref #8 has Last, F. M. I would suggest changing ref #6 to Last, First. Otherwise, a nice little list, well done. Harrias talk 06:57, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed, thanks for picking it up and thanks for the support! The Rambling Man (talk) 07:05, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
