I am nominating this for featured list because the article is based on similar featured lists such as [[2]. I think the article covers all aspects of the topic and is ready FL status. Around The Globeसत्यमेव जयते 09:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice article, already looked it over at the PR, but a couple of minor points:

  • "The Brabourne has witnessed 35 Test centuries since it hosted its first Test match in 1948." – "The Brabourne" isn't human or animal, and thus can't really "witness" something.
  • You use numerals for 17 in the second sentence, but letters for eighteen in the fourth: I'm not too fussed which is used (neither is the MOS) but consistency would be nice.
  • "It has also staged eight One Day International matches, of which the first was in 1989 when Australia lost to Pakistan by 66 runs and one T20 International in 2007 when India took on Australia." – This sentence could either do with some more commas, or (more ideally) splitting into two sentences.
  • "No centuries have been scored in the eight One Day International matches and only T20 International played here." – I don't think that "here" is appropriate language; really "here" would refer to the article, not the ground: I'd suggest changing it to either "at Brabourne Stadium" or "at the ground".

  • Support all my issues with the article have been resolved, nice work. Harrias talk 13:02, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • "and has played host to Ranji Trophy matches, Indian Premier matches, as well as being a Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International venue." The flow of this from beginning to end isn't as good as it could be. Try removing the comma after "Ranji Trophy matches" and the parenthetical bit, then put "and" in there. That seems like the simplest thing to do to fix this.
  • The publisher of reference 4 (Indian Express) should be italicized since it's a printed publication. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 01:26, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Basic question Is "List of international cricket centuries at <stadium>" a useful/encyclopedia-worthy topic of discussion? As a counter-example, would "List of hat-tricks scored at Anfield" be a encyclopedic topic? Put in another way, what is to be gained by arranging 100s stadium-wise?—indopug (talk) 07:52, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO, it is encyclopaedic. For wikiusers interested in cricket, it goes to show historic info of major venues as well as of major cricketers (such as List of international cricket centuries by David Gower - a one of the many FL's on the topic). Withregards to Anfield, according to me it would depend on whether its a major international football venue - and whether a hat-trick is as big (eg. there has been only 1 ODI hat-trick, none in tests at the Brabourne hence it would not qualify for a wiki list article) - Im not active on WP Football so would not know much abt tht.

  • This article talks about 17 Ranji finals whereas the main Brabourne article has it as 16. From a quick check, 17 seems to be the correct figure. Please confirm anyway. Tintin 13:18, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Per Cricketarchive.com [3] - 1938, 1942, 1944, 1945, 1949, 1952, 1959, 1960, 1962, 1964, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 2008 (plate group final). Thanks for the corrections. Around The Globeसत्यमेव जयते 06:21, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is a century? I may be overlooking it, but this article never defines the term.
  • Reaching 100 runs - a feat by a single player in the team. Around The Globeसत्यमेव जयते 10:13, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Um, I know this. I've reviewed several of the list of centuries by batsman that have come through in recent months. Your list, on the other hand, assumes people already know this. Many do not. Courcelles 10:19, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Added an explanation with link. Thanks for pointing it out, sometimes you overcome the biggest of things whiles forgetting a nano most important item! I daresay "century" is nano to this article though :) Cheers, Around The Globeसत्यमेव जयते 10:36, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For the centuries that no ball total was recorded, there is a total number of overs for the innings. Could be worth providing that is some form.

  • Comment: I find this sentence, at the end of the first paragraph, a bit confusing - The stadium hosted five matches including the final of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2006. Why is this mentioned? The lines before this mention the first Test, ODI and T20I matches which are obviously important events for the ground. What is special about these five matches that justifies mentioning them alongside the inaugural matches? If there's something important about them (I'm guessing because they were champions trophy matches) make the reason clear, and include the match format as well for clarity. Other than that, the article looks good to me. Chamal T•C 14:42, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Does this work now? Around The Globeसत्यमेव जयते 17:21, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
