I'm surprised that how such an important list has not been created before. I believe it meets the criteria and look forward to your comments and suggestions. —Vensatry (Ping) 11:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"T2" has two entries in the key. --Golbez (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from ChrisTheDude (talk · contribs)
"Players from teams that are full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) have scored centuries in each innings with the exception of Bangladesh" => "Players from all teams that are full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) have scored centuries in each innings with the exception of Bangladesh"
"was entered into the record books as "Most runs scored by a player in a Test match (Male)"" - I don't like the Easter Egg link on "record books", also why the need to refer to "record books" at all? Why not just put "his combined tally [...] set a record for the highest aggregate score achieved by a player in a Test match"......?
  • Removed the pipe link. Isn't a mention of "Guinness Records" noteworthy as it caters to a wide range of audience rather than cricket enthusiasts alone. —Vensatry (Ping) 07:59, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"His compatriot Michael Vaughan has the least aggregate" => "His compatriot Michael Vaughan has the lowest aggregate"
"Lawrence Rowe of West Indies and Yasir Hameed of Pakistan are the only debutants to accomplish this feat" => "Lawrence Rowe of West Indies and Yasir Hameed of Pakistan are the only debutants to score centuries in both innings of a Test". As it stands "this feat" sounds like it's referring to the bit in the previous sentence, which it isn't.

Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:00, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • A comma is needed after "the longest version of the game" in the lead.
  • In the table, Warren Bardsley's first century score isn't sorting in the right order. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the comments. Hope I've fixed them —Vensatry (Ping) 09:46, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). (1) Paragraphs in lede look sort of uneven in size. Consider splitting the 2nd paragraph in two. (2) Notes section: notes "c" and "e" could use citations at the end of those sentences to assist the reader to find sources for that info. (3) Image review: All images check out okay. Green tickY. (4) Overall it's pretty good, address those recommendations and I'd feel ready to support at that point in time. Keep me posted, — Cirt (talk) 01:31, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Cirt: I think I've addressed each of them. Thanks for the comments —Vensatry (Ping) 10:35, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Thanks for the polite, prompt, and punctual responses to my comments, above. Much appreciated, — Cirt (talk) 11:33, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • I'd like to see an aggregate column as this is mentioned a couple of times in the lead.
    • Is it really needed? I don't see either cricinfo or cricketarchive reporting it. Besides, except for a few players that wouldn't be worth mentioning. —Vensatry (Ping) 05:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • But you have mentioned it a few times in the lead so it's relevant, no? The Rambling Man (talk) 16:21, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • I've mentioned it only twice – Highest and lowest. The highest is an all-time record, and made it to the Guinness books. Others don't seem significant enough to make a mention. —Vensatry (Ping) 16:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is each innings denoted with a T, i.e. T1 and T2? Why not 1st innings and 2nd innings?
    • That would confuse the readers as Test matches have a maximum of four innings played. —Vensatry (Ping) 05:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not really, and besides, wouldn't that imply that the title of this list is confusing? Are there cricketers who have scored in four innings?! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:21, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • That would be misleading again since from the match's point of view, we don't know in which of the two innings he made centuries! —Vensatry (Ping) 16:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • What I mean is the title of the list says "in each innings of a Test match" so that'd be up to four centuries in a match then?! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:12, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • I had this doubt whether to use "each" or "both" after creating this article. You want me to move the page now? —Vensatry (Ping) 17:29, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "completes 100 runs in" wouldn't it be 100 or more?
  • "on both the occasions while scoring centuries" probably could just say "in both innings", as it's clear you're talking about double centurions.
  • You note the nationality of some but not all centurions, seems anomalous.

Comments

  • "... a total of 73 players ..." the table shows 74 players?
    • Rephrased since my original statement was wrong —Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't think they are 74 and 61. Are they? —Zia Khan 22:42, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Most runs scored by a player in a Test match (Male)" I don't known the M should be in capital????
  • "Australia's David Warner...." I think Australian would be more appropriate here. —Zia Khan 15:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why T1 and T2, and not C1 and C2?
    • It's just a notation used for the items used in the table. I don't think we have any specific guideline on deciding key notations. —Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add a note about table sorting.
  • There is a problem with Warner's entry.
  • 1st century should sort secondarily to the 2nd or vice versa.

—Zia Khan 15:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have already used a secondary sort based on dates for both columns. —Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sort by date and then look at the No. column! Also there is a double entry in the No. column. —Zia Khan 22:42, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Sahara4u: I think I've addressed your concerns. Let me know if there are any further issues. —Vensatry (Ping) 18:25, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - I see no major issues with the list. Aureez (Talk) 11:18, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
