List of Afghanistan ODI cricketers

Featured list candidates/List of Afghanistan ODI cricketers/archive1

Nominator(s): Harrias ^talk 10:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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 South Africa women ODI cricketers. Harrias ^talk 10:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments good work

Lead image could be expanded, and caption shouldn't take a full stop.

What sort of size do you reckon? Removed the caption.

No suggestions, just big enough to nicely fit a 800px wide screen (I guess) without spilling over to the main list. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:47, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"When the ban was lifted," a nice way of putting it? Did the Taliban really "lift the ban"?

Uhmmm, yes? How else would you put it?

Really? The Taliban themselves lifted the ban? (Sorry for my ignorance...) The Rambling Man (talk) 20:47, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to the source I had, yeah. Thought it was the one cited, but it clearly isn't. I'll have to find it again! Forgot to sign my replies last time, bad me! Harrias ^talk 20:55, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Added in a reference now. Harrias ^talk 21:02, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Courcelles 19:42, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments

"A One Day International" A One? Shouldn't it be an?

"He has passed 100 on more occasions than any of his compatriots, and his score of 118, made against Canada..." Passed a 100... what? Runs, I'm assuming.

Ref 6 needs publisher, and the correct location. (The location of this paper is always London, not where the reporter happened to be).

Ref 4 needs location.

Ref 7 needs publisher and location

Fix those and I'll gladly support. Courcelles 18:14, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed refs and changed to "100 runs". And no, "an One" would be very poor English indeed. Harrias ^talk 19:10, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – ~~Names in the table are sorting by first name; FLs typically sort by last name.~~ Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, because, as is typical with the Pakistan cricket team, their names are written in full on cricket scorecards, rather than providing initials, leaving me unsure whether they should be sorted by first or last name. (See here for example.) Harrias ^talk 04:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, where CricketArchive sorts players by surname for England (for example: [here]), Afghan players are sorted by the first name: [here]. Harrias ^talk 07:19, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support – That's a convincing enough argument for me, and I don't have any other issues with the list. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 15:11, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*~~One innings should be singular.~~

Not in cricket terminology. Nev1 (talk) 15:44, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~What is a county second XI teams~~
- Provided a link to Second XI Championship, which I think explains it sufficiently.
~~fifth-placed play-off sounds ungrammatical and like it should be fifth-place play-off~~

Done

What is an ODI wickets--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:02, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's explained at the start of the list that an ODI is a One Day International. ODI wickets are wickets taken in One Day Internationals. Nev1 (talk) 15:45, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No one who, like me, does not know cricket is going to get that connection.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:18, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Really? It doesn't seem painfully obvious that an ODI wicket is a wicket taken in an ODI? I'll leave this up to Harrias, although I disagree. Nev1 (talk) 16:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Rephrased to "has claimed more wickets in ODI matches", which hopefully make it clearer? Thanks for your eyes on this TonyTheTiger, as I said, I like to get some non-cricketing eyes for exactly these reasons! Harrias ^talk 16:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Is there a link for the term wicket?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:36, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Linked. Harrias ^talk 06:43, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments, I have resolved those to which Nev hasn't responded, feel free to query further if you feel it is unclear. Harrias ^talk 15:53, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Issues resolved.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:05, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've updated the table and lead following the conclusion of the Afghanistan – Kenya series. Harrias ^talk 16:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support my comments were addressed earlier and I can see no issues holding this back. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
