  • Date and length fine. However with the hook I would really like to pass alt1 however the wording in the article is a bit more subtle than the hook's claim that having the greatest cricketer in history referee did something "illegal". If it can be reworded in the article, I'll be happy to pass it. QPQ is done, and there is no close paraphrasing. @Gasheadsteve: IF you can chnge that wording in the article, I'll be happy to pass it. Please ping me when you've done it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:21, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
  • @The C of E: I've been mulling this over for a couple of days and have been struggling to come up with a better way to make the hook sound interesting and accurate. The replay was because the process of appointing him as referee wasn't followed correctly, not because Grace was not eligible to referee the game – in fact he refereed several games in the Gloucestershire Cup. I've added a new ALT hook below, which is slightly less sensationalist (but not quite as interesting-sounding)... — GasHeadSteve [TALK] 15:57, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
