Another centuries list, and the first Sri Lankan one. This is based on the already existing ones of Ponting, Sehwag etc. My first list of this type, so your comments and suggestions would be most welcome. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 11:55, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "batting style introduced a new batting strategy" batting x 2 is a little repetitive.
  • Done Removed second one.
  • fielding restrictions may be difficult for a non-expert to understand - consider a note.
  • Done Note added.
  • Glen -> Glenn.
  • Done (damn :P)
  • "prompting a change in the award's selection policy" what change?
  • Done Clarified and note added.
  • Done Link added.
  • Done Link added. Link to test records also added.
  • Test score col doesn't sort for me.
  • Works for me... I've added {{nts}}. Does that fix it?
  • Nor does ODI one.
  • Same as above.
  • Could be worth picking out his second ODI ton with a strike rate of over 2 runs per ball...?
  • It is mentioned. I have added the strike rate as well now.
  • accessdates - lose the leading zeroes on 05 December for instance.
  • Done Removed.
  • Refs 53 and 54 seem to have an extra ].
  • Done Fixed.

  • In the ODI column, the not outs are treated as lower than the outs at the same score. e.g. 102* sorts lower than 102, 107* sorts lower than 107 and so on.
  • Done Added . I'm surprised that other centuries lists don't seem to have a method to sort this, though.
  • I still have the same problem, if I sort ascending on score I get 102* first, then 102, then 103. I don't know about the older FLs, but I've been checking for this on the newer ones :)
  • Isn't that how it should be? The not outs come first and the outs will come later when you are sorting in ascending order. Vice versa in descending order. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 00:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • 102* should be better than 102, but lower than 103. This descending order list from Cricinfo might be helpful (see the 144* & 144s, 126*, 121*). cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 00:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe reorder "In Test cricket...West Indies.[11]" and "He made his Test debut ...the Sri Lankan side.[12]" for flow?
  • Done Changed.
  • Is Tendulkar needed in the last sentence? As he's mentioned once already, I'd hate to see him getting the final word on Sanath's list!
  • Heheh... the player ahead is usually mentioned, no? Changed to a note.
  • I'd just as well prefer that SRT stays in his space! I think the note looks better.

cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 18:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and I hope the changes are satisfactory. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 15:12, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Comments addressed, don't see any other issues. -SpacemanSpiff 04:44, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Yep - about time for another Aussie however. What about the Waugh twins, Border or even Bradman? Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 10:53, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments – Seems mostly solid. Just found a couple of little nit-picks:

  • Remove the space after a dash in the last sentence of the lead.
  • Done
  • The Test table has an H/A column, while the ODI table has H/A/N. Why are they different?
  • That's because none of the tests were played at neutral venues, so only "home" and "away" are there. Test series are usually played between two countries, so the venue is either at their own country or the other's. However, in ODI's there are triangular series etc (and tournaments like the world cup, ICC champions) which bring together more than one team. So the venues may be neutral for a side in such a case. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 01:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yep, just to add a bit of backing, Test cricket matches are always played "home" or "away" while one day matches, such as those in the Cricket World Cup (in a different country every four years or so) could be played in neutral venues, hence the difference...

  • Just to be a pest: What about Australia playing three Tests against Pakistan in England :) Aaroncrick (talk) 22:56, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
