I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the FL criteria, and follows a similar format to current FLs such as List of Afghanistan ODI cricketers. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 15:21, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • Feels like "matches" or something else should be added in at the end of the first sentence.
  • Could link Ireland in the second paragraph to an article on their national team, if one exists. I see a link is already in the third paragraph; maybe it could be moved up a paragraph?
  • Names should be sorted by last name, not first name.
  • If there are going to be colored rows, there needs to be an explanation of the color in the key, with matching symbols per WP:ACCESS.
  • Not sure if it's because of the colors, but the sorting tab isn't showing up in the colored rows, though the sorting itself works fine.
  • Don't know if other similar lists do this, but having a seperate Ref column would be more attractive than having cites after the players' names.
  • Ref 2 could use a PDF indication. If you're using cite templates, the format= parameter works well for this. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:21, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Table currently fails WP:ACCESS, see MOS:DTT for how to rectify this
  • Not keen on the sorting being separate from the rows, three rows at the top of the table is unnecessary. Remove the colours from the table as they are not needed, the key indicates what stats refer to bowling etc, and just have the sort next to the stats.
  • Majority of the third paragraph needs referencing, I know its reference in the table but I would add the refs in the lead as well.
    All issues fixed. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 15:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
nearly, you need to add rowscopes. I've done an example for you so you know what you're doing. Btw, you have to put everything on a separate line as I have done for the first player, otherwise the whole table gets highlighted not the row header. NapHit (talk) 18:20, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - seems to meet all the criteria having read through it a couple of times, so unless I've missed something, it looks good to me! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 15:20, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Harrias talk
  • Because of the width of the table, when viewed on a monitor width even 1280 pixel width, the images display above the table, creating a large amount of blank space. I know monitors and resolutions are getting better and better, but I think we should be catering to that width, which is still reasonably common. A solution as used at List of international cricket centuries at Lord's Cricket Ground might be appropriate?
  • "..was the 2nd match.." – per MOS:NUM this should really be "second" rather than "2nd"; similarly later in the sentence, "by 5 wickets." should be "by five wickets."

Otherwise the list looks pretty good to me. Harrias talk 13:55, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support thanks for those tweaks: nice work. Harrias talk 16:39, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Don't mix date formats in the references.
  • The lead image caption is a little clunky, could be "The Afghanistan national cricket team playing in Rotterdam in 2010 ICC WCL Division One"?
  • 13, 8 - thirteen and eight (just to prose-it-up a bit).
  • T20I is overlinked in the first para.
  • Are the names per the sources, e.g. Shenwari has an article at Shinwari here, Hameed Hasan has an article at Hamid Hassan (in fact, in his image caption, you spell it per the latter)...
  • If the captions in the gallery are intended to be sentences, the "Has..." etc should not be capitalised.
  • Ref 4 has author name inconsistently formatted, i.e. first last rather than last, first per all the other similar refs.
