This will probably be the only list among the spin quartet that could find a place in the FL category (keeping the min. criteria in mind). Look forward to your comments and suggestions. —Vensatry (Ping me) 07:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The article on the player, B. S. Chandrasekhar is of a poor quality and tagged at the top as needing additional citations for improvement. It looks like that'd be easy for a minor quality improvement side project to accompany this one. — Cirt (talk) 14:24, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • London should be linked in the table for consistency.
  • I don't think that the No. column should have the row scope
  • "In Tests, he was most successful against England taking eight fifers." - ref needed.
    • I don't think we need a ref here as the fact is pretty obvious from the table itself. Anyways, I've added a ref. —Vensatry (Ping me) 14:21, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Symbol row in the key table should have row scope. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 05:55, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Comments—
  • ..fewer than 40 bowlers have taken more than 15 five-wicket hauls at international...... → They are now exactly 40!
  • West Indies → the West Indies
  • This is grammatically incorrect, there should be the before West Indies! Zia Khan 21:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no such strict rule that it should always be accompanied by the. Take a look at [2] and [3] for eg., —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:05, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • ... in the English soil... → on the English soil
  • It was noted the "Indian Bowling Performance of the Century" by Wisden in 2002. → Perhaps it should be: It was noted as the Indian "Best Bowling Performance of the Century" by Wisden in 2002.
  • I couldn't find "Indian Bowling Performance of the Century" in the text of the citation you provided. Zia Khan 21:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • ...against Australia in Melbourne. → "at the Melbourne Cricket Ground", for consistency.
  • No need to abbreviate One Day International.
  • In the Key "starting date of the match" is sufficient in Date.
  • Eight-ball overs were bowled in this match. → the instead of this. Zia Khan 01:21, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this makes difference, anyway no big deal! Zia Khan 21:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Meets the standard! Zia Khan 13:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – "Chandrasekhar's bowling figures of six wickets for 38 runs in 1971 was instrumental in setting up India's first victory in England." "was" → "were"? Giants2008 (Talk) 22:18, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've been meaning to look at this for a while but couldn't find the time. Sorry about that.

  • In the sentence ... 40 bowlers have taken more than 15 five-wicket hauls..., it should be at least 15 five-wicket hauls. If you say more than, it would exclude the four people with 15 hauls. Alternatively, you could leave them out altogether and say something like fewer than 40 bowlers have taken more than 15.
  • You could use this custom query (Test, ODI, T20I combined) instead of/along with references 4 and 5 (individual Test and ODI numbers).
  • Please check the reference titles for consistency. For example, reference 4 uses endashes only while reference 5 uses a colon for page titles with the same format.
  • It'd be good if you could use the same date style in the titles and retrieved dates in the references.

Some more comments
  • The line He was named the Indian Cricket Cricketer of the Year in 1964 and one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1972 at the end of the first paragraph should be moved to the second paragraph I think, preferably to the end of it. Saying he became a cricketer of the year immediately after talking about how he started, and before even mentioning his debut seems a bit off.
    • Normally in these lists, we list all accolades received by the player in the first para while introducing the subject. Anyways I've moved that to second para as suggested by you. —Vensatry (Ping me) 18:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the first note, when you say the spin quartet refers to Indian bowlers Bishen Singh Bedi, EAS Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan..., that makes it sound like only those three were in the "spin quartet". It's implied since the fact is mentioned in the prose, but when taken literally that sentence is contradictory. Since this is going to be featured class, I'd say it's best to make things clearer than that.
  • It was noted, the Indian "Bowling Performance of the Century" – I think the original wording was better, and I prefer TRM's suggestion more. In any case, the comma is very out of place there.

  • You're right, the comma is out of place. Done as suggested. —Vensatry (Ping me) 18:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Could link cricket.
  • "atleast" space needed.
  • "in their cricketing careers" no need for "cricketing". They wouldn't be taking fifers in their plumbing or teaching careers.
  • " developed an early interest in cricket" expand this, there's no context for what "early interest" is. Is it five years old? 15? 25?
  • "It was noted the Indian" I'm not sure, but I'd say "It was noted as the Indian"...
  • "His career-best figures for an innings were eight wickets for 79 runs, which was " plural/singular problems here.
  • In the Key, Result doesn't need a full stop but the dagger does.
  • Ref 7, surname, first name per all the other refs.
