Lede

[edit]
  • In the infobox you mentions "underarm", what does this means?
  • "In 1892, they shared a partnership of 346 for the first wicket, an opening partnership that set a record for the County Championship and remains Somerset's highest first-wicket partnership." → "partnership" 3 times in the sntence, you may rephrase this.
  • the "Five Batsmen of the Year" → why is this in quote?
  • In 1893, rather than name their Cricketers of the Year, Wisden entitled it Five Batsmen of the Year. This has since been recognised as being one of the Cricketers of the Year selections, but given it is a variant title, I placed it in speech marks. Harrias talk 07:23, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "....remained the record score for a Somerset batsman until 1948." → remained a record for a Somerset batsman until 1948.

University and county cricketer

[edit]
  • "Palairet scored six and zero and took one wicket...." → How can one score "zero" runs? You may rephrase this.
  • Somerset that season played thirteen matches and won twelve of them and tied the other. → 13 and 12
  • "Palairet played in ten of these matches and one his first appearance, scored a century against Leicestershire." → something is wrong with the sentence, I think it should be "on" instead of "one"?
  • "county across his ten county matches was 31.11, placing him among the top ten batsmen..." → 10
  • "Palairet used himself heavily as a bowler for the university in 1892; only George Berkeley bowled more deliveries." → needs ref
  • ...who had injured himself fielding,.... → during fielding?
  • "Although their record has since been beaten in first-class cricket,..." who broke the record, you may add a note.
  • .....and claimed the only five-wicket hauls of his career. → "took" as you have already used "claimed" in the sentence.
  • Link not out

Leading amateur batsman

[edit]
  • "...., on the latter occasion carrying his bat;" → "carrying his bat" needs explanation.
  • ....a thousands runs... → 1,000
  • for Somerset he scored six and zero → Same as above for zero
  • "an average just below thirty," → 30.00
  • "In 1898, Palairet topped 1,000 first-class runs...." topped with 1,000
  • Is this "Headlingley" or "Headlingley"?
  • ".....Somerset's second innigns, each scoring a century." → innings

Later county career

[edit]
  • In 1903, Palairet played eleven first-class matches. → 11
  • "...during a ten wicket loss to ..." ten-wicket?
  • "...against the touring Australians; Kent and Warwickshire,.." → I think semi-colon after Australians should be a comma.
  • eleven eligible players for some → 11
  • he played ten or more matches, → 10

Style and technique

[edit]
  • "He was a sure-handed catcher, occasional wicket-keeper, and medium-paced or lob bowler." needs ref

Notes and ref

[edit]
  • As of November 2012 → December
  • ref# 64 is not formatted correctly, there may be others

Images

[edit]
  • All the images need alt text.

Good work with the article, I'll visit again as the above concerns resolve. Thanks, Zia Khan 03:46, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
