Nominator(s): Vibhijain (talk) and Khadar Khani (talk) 12:25, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previously nominated back in 2015, the list got sufficient 'supports' from reviewers but couldn't get through. Again, I would like to have Vibhijain as co-nominator since he has created the list. Comments and suggestions from anyone are much appreciated. Regards, Khadar Khani (talk) 12:25, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a quick look at this, and can't find anything that's an issue. Please compare this to the issues raised at the West Indies FLC, esp. any style issues raised by The Rambling Man. Should be good to go! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 07:50, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Lugnuts: already done with row and col scopes. Thanks for the comment! Khadar Khani (talk) 11:00, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Sahara4u: To open a second nomination, the unwritten rule is that the first candidate should have a minimum of three supports with no outstanding concerns. Btw, welcome back to FLC! —Vensatry (talk) 06:24, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vensatry: Thank you and I think your concern is resolved! Khadar Khani (talk) 14:22, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - my only query at the moment is that the last paragraph of the lead seems to essentially be there to clarify why there are no ODI fifers on the list, but there isn't an equivalent bit of wording for T20. As far as I can see he never actually played in a T20 international, but as he did play in the era when they existed it might be worth mentioning........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:46, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I am happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:29, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed this list back at its first nomination in 2015, and was happy with it. I do have a couple of thoughts though:

  • Might it be worth mentioning that the match of his first five-wicket haul was also the only one in which he took two five-wicket hauls in a match? (This is noted in the table, but it might be nice in the prose.)
  • Ref #1, "Swinging it for the Auld Enemy – An interview with Ryan Sidebottom" redirects to the Scotsman homepage. Either the original article has gone, or moved address: we should be able to find an archive using the Wayback machine.

Overall this is pretty much there, as evidenced by my support in 2015. Any chance you could take a look at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/England cricket team Test results (1920–39)/archive3? Harrias talk 10:17, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Harrias: thanks for the review. I'll definitely have a look at your nom! Regards, Khadar Khani (talk) 13:05, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support nice work, I was happy to support last time, and I'm happy to do so again now. Harrias talk 13:20, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Vensatry
  • "This is regarded by cricket critics"
  • "fewer than 50 bowlers have taken more than 15 five-wicket hauls ..." -> fewer than 50 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls ...
  • "Kaneria made his Test debut in 2000" || "Having made his One Day International (ODI) debut in October 2001"
  • Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium redirects to Sharjah Cricket Stadium
  • "He took 12 wickets for 94 runs in the match, a performance which earned him the man of the match award" - Comma splice error
  • "Kaneria's career-best performance in an innings was 7 wickets for 77 runs" || "His best bowling figures in ODIs were 3 wickets for 31 runs against"
  • "Kaneria played 18 ODIs for Pakistan and took 15 wickets in the format." -> Kaneria played 18 matches for Pakistan and took 15 wickets in the format.
  • Why is 'bowling figures' linked in the third para and not in the previous one?
  • 'five-wicket haul takers' is rather awkward. The sentence needs to be rephrased.
  • In the table check for 5/127 and 5/125.
  • This source could be used as a citation (to the table) rather than an EL.
  • This one is a personal preference: the lead image looks poor quality-wise, and there's no proof that this is a legitimate one. File:Danish Kaneria 2.jpg looks good to me. Also, a bit skeptical about the second image; anyway consider adding the name of the venue in alt text.

  • @Vensatry: thanks for the review! I have tried to fix your concerns as suggested. Please have a look in case something is missing. Regards, Khadar Khani (talk) 19:04, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source review – All of the references look reliable and well-formatted. I spot-checked refs 19, 22, and 24, and have a question. Is the Innings column supposed to list the total number of innings in the match, or the innings when the haul happened? If the latter (which is implied by the key), then I'm confused because the references imply that the hauls I checked occurred in the first innings of the respective matches, not the second innings as the list says. This is unless I'm reading the cites wrong, which is possible as I'm not familiar with cricket stat-keeping. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:19, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's innings of the match. Kaneria's five-wicket haul came in Australia's first innings, which was the second innings of the match, coming after Pakistan's first innings. Harrias talk 06:10, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
