This list is based upon pre-existing lists of the similar type and I believe this is according to the FL criteria. Comments and suggestion are appreciated! Zia Khan 14:15, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Add "tied" in the key column.
  • Adelaide Oval's picture can't be used in this list due to fair use policy.
  • "Match starting day" is confusing in the case of ODIs.
  • "Kingston, Jamaica" ---> "Kingston"
  • No need of "List of" in Table captions. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 09:55, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done. Thanks for the comments. Zia Khan 12:25, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from —Vensatry (Ping me)
  • Boon made both his Test and ODI debuts against ....
  • 1991–92 home series, by home you mean Australia?
  • "His accomplishments with the bat during the previous year led to him being named by Wisden as one of their Cricketers of the Year in 1994" – Wrong conclusion. The almanac names the players based on their performance in the previous English season. Jayasuriya may be an exception, not Boon.
    • Done. Zia Khan 12:27, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • The title reads "Wisden – Cricketer of the year 1991 – Desmond Haynes" —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:48, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "ninth (with Neil Harvey) in list of Test century-makers for Australia" something missing here
    • The original phrase is like: ninth (with Neil Harvey) in the list of Test century-makers for Australia. I don't know what's missing. Zia Khan 12:27, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • I was expecting something on the lines of ninth leading (or) in the all-time list. —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:48, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • scoring seven Test centuries against them

  • Thanks for the comments! Zia Khan 12:27, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comments (re-visit)

  • You could use a secondary sort for the Test centuries based on date, though not a compulsion.
    • I don't think this is necessary?! Zia Khan 12:28, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • No need to link "Tied" in the table.
    • Unlinked. That was pipe-linked to the match. Zia Khan 12:28, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • You seem to have misinterpreted the license of the image. The original image (posted at Flickr) is {{cc-by-sa-2.0}} while a derivative of that uses a PD template. Further, this image should be hosted at the Commons as it's free.

  • It looks like you've done this yourself. Zia Khan 12:28, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The only issue I can see is this: "His accomplishments with the bat during the 1993 English cricket season led to him [.....] and described him that he......" - his accomplishments with the bat didn't describe him as anything, also in English we don't "describe that" something. I would re-write the sentence to "His accomplishments with the bat during the 1993 English cricket season led to Wisden naming him as one of their Cricketers of the Year in 1994 and describing him as "the most assured batsman in the Australian team"". Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - you missed out a word when you put my suggested revised sentence in, but I fixed that for you -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:54, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
