Looking at first class records (individual records), the numbers don't match. There's G Matthews showing 135 and 117 matches, P Emery credited with 120 and 109 matches, S Rixon with 107 and 94 matches, and so on. Perhaps one column shows NSW FC matches played in the Shield and the other includes touring teams? Cricinfo lists the smaller numbers... http://stats.cricinfo.com/newsouthwales/engine/records/individual/most_matches_career.html?class=4;id=438;type=team

Any ideas? Hovea (talk) 11:57, 18 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

I added up the matches using Cricket Archive. Rixon, for example, played 107 first class matches for NSW, which included 94 in the Sheffield Shield. The other 13 were vs touring teams & 1 vs TAS in Feb 1977. The relevant Cricinfo stats page is headed "First class matches", so there's the discrepancy. Hovea (talk) 05:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
