Just a quick note - the lede says he was the 13th person to score 100 first class centuries, but "Move to Worcestershire" says 15th. Baska436 (talk) 04:05, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well-spotted, it was 15th so I have fixed my mistake. Thanks. BencherliteTalk 07:55, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It also says he was "the first post-war player to do so." But according to this he scored his 100th in 1964, while Denis Compton and Len Hutton scored their 100th in 1952 and 1951, respectively. I presume it means that Graveney was the first player to score both his first and his 100th century after the war, but that should be spelled out IMO.
On an unrelated matter, "His international career ended at the age of 42 when he played in a benefit match on the rest day of a Test match and was banned" suggests that he was banned for life, but the article tells us it was only a three-match ban. So how did his international career end? Did he retire in protest or was he simply never picked again? This should also be made clear in the lead. Scolaire (talk) 17:24, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Clarified the post-war player bit (a distinction not always made clear in the sources). As for the bit about him being banned, while I don't think we need the details in the lead, it doesn't hurt to have them, so I've added a bit more. Thanks. BencherliteTalk 20:07, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's a big improvement. Scolaire (talk) 10:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
