  • "Described by John ... his captaincy of his brother" --> "Described by John Pollack as "one of the world's most elegant and gifted strokemakers",[1] he played most of his career under his the captaincy of his elder twin-brother Steve Waugh."
  • The Gabba Brisbane --> The Gabba, Brisbane
  • "Waugh was primarily ... onto number four in Tests." - Ref needed.
  • The spelling of Polack is incorrect in the lead.
  • Are you sure John Pollack is the same person?
  • The flag of South Africa was different before 27 April 1994. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 07:50, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • For those of us who don't know all the major cricket events by heart, a link to Frank Worrel Trophy would be helpful. I notice that that article doesn't have the hyphen in the middle; that might be worth checking.
  • I don't think the comma after "Waugh's highest score of 153 not out" is needed.
  • Note 3: In British English, is it okay to have "over all" be two words? Giants2008 (Talk) 21:20, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would prefer to see you say he was a former Australian international cricketer, not link to cricket in Australia but to Cricket Australia.
  • "by John Polack as" who he? i.e. why is what he said worth listening to?
  • "Waugh represented Australia" re-iterate Mark here, the last Waugh you mentioned was Steve.
  • "He was primarily a batsman who played as an opening batsman in ODIs while switching onto number four in" - repetitive use of "batsman" and he didn't "switch onto", he just played at four.
  • "to perform the feat" unclear what the feat is as you've got an easter egg link to the centuries on Test debut article. Consider re-wording to make it clear.
  • " was instrumental in" says who?
    • It's well explained in the source. Added another source. —Vensatry (Ping me) 09:37, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Waugh was instrumental in Australia's victory in the 1995 Frank Worrell Trophy against West Indies when he made 126.[1] Waugh's " Waugh.. Waugh... mix it up a little.
  • "victory in the 1995 Frank Worrell Trophy against West Indies" to an outsider, it's unclear, is this a one-off match? A final of a tournament?
  • "it was only after four years he scored his first century. " -> "he did not score his first century until four years later, scoring blah against blah at blah"?
  • You haven't explained what "133*" means to a non-expert in the lead, stick with prose if I were you.
  • "Despite having a slow start" no need for "having".
  • "against West Indies at the Melbourne in " I assume you mean at the MCG?
  • Lead caption, shouldn't that be "third-highest"?
  • Considering he scored four of the Test centuries not batting a number four, you may wish to make that lead comment more ambiguous, i.e. normally batting at number four.
  • Test century 15, "3 /3" remove the space.
  • Normally we see the balls received in ODI century tables, don't we?

  • No, it's not a requirement. I had a quick random sample of four FLs, 1 did have balls, 3 didn't. It's not so important as you've got strike rate in any case. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:56, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not a big deal and you can even ignore this : "Following his performances, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack named him as one of their five Cricketers of the Year the same year" - From http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154431.html , the WCY was given for his batting in the 1990 English season and the article was written before he made his Test debut.

  • MoMs include - 113* in SA 1993-4, 116 in SA, 1996-7 - I haven't checked everything, sampled only a few familiar ones. Tintin 12:18, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Test matches and One Day International (ODI) matches organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
  • Waugh made his Test cricket debut against England....
  • Link West Indies at 1st instance
  • As of May → As of July
  • Score for the Test centuries # 5 and 10 should sort in the reverse order i.e he scored century # 5 earlier so it should be placed earlier when sorting in ascending order.
    • I guess that's not mandatory. It would be meaningful if we sort that column based on the "strike rate". In this case we don't have that column. —Vensatry (Ping me) 11:06, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same for the centuries # 11 and 12 in the ODI list.
  • Would be bettter to enlarge the ground's image.
