I am nominating this for featured list because I'm satisfied it now meets all requirements in order to become a FL.

This is the first FLC of it's type; however, as many of you will probably be well aware, there have been sucessful candidates on a particular batsman's centuries. Aaroncrick TALK 06:41, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

* Some explanation of what the numbers in brackets mean would be good in the key. It's clear to me that if they have scored more than one century on the ground, it is identifying if it is their first or second etc, but it would be nice to have that explicitly mentioned.
    • Can you look at the wording please, I'm not sure. Aaroncrick TALK 10:54, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The issue over how Pakistani (etc) names should sort is still about, I'm pretty sure that some of them shouldn't be sorted by the second name, but as I said before, you'd be best seeking more knowledgable advise than my own!
    • Who should I ask? Aaroncrick TALK 10:54, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Maybe try over at WP:PAKISTAN or WP:INDIA? I don't really know myself to be honest. SpacemanSpiff may have an idea too? Harrias talk 20:06, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • In this particular case the last names for Indian cricketers is the actual last name (the last name problems generally show up with South Indian cricketers), so sorts will be ok for them. I'm not entirely sure about the Pakistani cricketers, but they appear to be correct currently, the only question is - should it be Mohammad Yousuf or Yousuf Youhana which was his name at the time of this event? —SpacemanSpiff 07:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no real issues with the prose (though I'm sure others will), my only slight concern is with the use of 'However' to start the final sentence, I don't really think it's the right word to use. Harrias talk 10:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The 'Balls' column doesn't sort completely correctly, on the first two clicks (which is all I did before) it is fine, but on the third and fourth clicks, '95' is out of position. This can be fixed with the sort function, similar to the 'Score' column; for a look at how complex it can get, look at my FL List of Philadelphia Flyers players.
    • This is still an outstanding problem. Harrias talk 11:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh sorry, thought that Apples had done it... So basically you want what was done the the runs column? Aaroncrick TALK 11:47, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Pretty much, yeah. As I said, if you're unsure, I had all kinds of stuff going on in the Flyers list! Harrias talk 21:51, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
          • Does it only need to be done for the Test table? Is it because of the "NR" values? Mr.Apples2010 (talk) 22:12, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've already looked over this article for you a couple of times, and it's looking in pretty good shape. Have picked up on a couple more things though I'm afraid!

Support: all my picky issues have now been resolved, good work chaps! Harrias talk 10:49, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Shouldn't "15,000 capacity" be hyphenated?
  • Not sure ref 3 backs up the first century.
  • Second para, you finally link hundred to century (cricket), I'm guessing this should be done way beforehand.
  • "Nevertheless, nine" why "nevertheless"?
  • Not sure "balls" should link to the physical object, it should be about "deliveries" not the red leather object.
  • And you go on to link "deliveries" to the same thing...
  • You have "Inn." in the key and "Inns." in the table.
  • Not sure why Centuries is capitalised in the section title.
  • Nor am I sure why Team is capitalised in the headings.
  • I think balls/innings should come after the player. Sure, have the # then the score then I think you need the player, the country he played for, then the stats.
I have arranged it in this way on the ODI table, if it is agreed that it looks the best in this way I will do it to the Test table as well. Mr.Apples2010 (talk) 16:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly prefer it that way. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:09, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • In Safari (Mac OS X) score doesn't sort correctly.
  • Your key should include what (x/y) means. They're not brackets, they're parentheses...!
  • Parenteses being a type of.. bracket! Not that it matters, as the point was understood, and that is after all, the reason for having language. Harrias talk 18:34, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sure you could add more cats, e.g. "Cricket grounds in the West Indies".

The Rambling Man (talk) 18:15, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • I'm really not very good when it comes to cats. I've added the one you suggested, however. Aaroncrick TALK 00:22, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The cricinfo link says capacity is 28,000, and doesn't mention any other sport (you say "Primarily used for cricket")
    • The 28,000 was for the World Cup. I still haven't fixed the name issue; though, I think everything else is done. Aaroncrick TALK 22:31, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • The Cricinfo page says 28,000... And there's no mention of other sports/events in that ref... The Rambling Man (talk) 08:16, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Okay tweaked. And, I'll ad a ref from the WICB that says the capacity is 15,000. After the World Cup I temporary stand on one side of the ground was demolished and was replaced by a semi-beach. Aaroncrick TALK 08:35, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Support – List looks solid overall. The only issue I saw was overlinking in a couple of places. Brian Lara doesn't need two links in the lead, and the second century link should be removed now that it has a link in the first paragraph.

Done! Mr.Apples2010 (talk) 22:27, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
