Featured list candidates/List of international cricket centuries by Mahela Jayawardene/archive1

Yet another centuries list (sorry guys :)), following the format of already existing FL's. Jayawardene has the most Test centuries for Sri Lanka and has the fourth highest score in Tests, so I thought he deserves his own list. I'm looking forward to your comments and suggestions. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 07:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking part in the WikiCup, BTW. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 07:39, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, we don't want this to become a glossary of cricket terms, but I think a link to batsman would be useful for the non-cricketing expert readers.

Done. Stupid mistake.

Shouldn't twenty-seven just be 27 in that sentence?

I was using numerals only for runs and wickets, but Dweller has changed that as you suggested. I don't have a problem either way.

I'm wondering if fourth highest should be fourth-highest?

Done.

What's ICC?

Mentioned. Another careless mistake.

"chosen.. selected... chosen... selected" - a good attempt at mixing it up a bit but two consecutive sentences with this construction gives the repeat game away for me.

Reworded. How is it now?

'"century an year later" - a year.

OK

Any links for ICC World Cup One Day International, ICC World Test?

Possible links would be List of World XI ODI cricketers and List of World XI Test cricketers, but these were teams which were selected to play a match. The ICC world teams are selected each year and are made up of the best players from all teams. So I don't think linking to those articles would be very accurate.

"decided to recall" I get it but it may be difficult to understand that this action of a captain resulted in two batsmen being retired out.

Clarified.

Thanks for your suggestions. I think I have addressed the problems. Sorry about the late reply BTW; I couldn't log in for a few days. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 08:01, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Harrias

you say "leading run-scorer" for Tests, "fourth-highest run-scorer" for ODIs and "fourth highest scorer" for T20Is. They don't all need to be the same, but can you make "fourth-highest" and "fourth highest" consistent. I don't think "run-scorer" and "scorer" need to be the same as the context is reasonably obvious.
so that Africa XI lines up with the rest, can you use {{noflag|[[Africa XI cricket team|Africa XI]]}}?

Otherwise, everything looks good. Harrias (talk) 12:53, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both done. Thanks for the noflag suggestion, I never thought about that template. ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 13:01, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support The noflag template just makes it all a bit neater. Another fine list, congrats. I'm hoping to get Viv Richards' list up to scratch in the next week or so.Harrias (talk) 14:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
