Australian cricket again? I took this up from a load of great work by Mattinbgn (who I've taken the liberty of co-nominating) and polished it, twerked the sorting mechanisms and added some more lead material. As ever, I will work tirelessly to address any and all comments made here, thanking you in advance for all your energy. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:16, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TRM, I have made the spacing in the table consistent, added commas to the figures over 1,000 and corrected some of stats. Further things required are below:
  • Sorting for the high scores needs correcting (not out scores to come before those scores where the batsman was out)
  • Sorting for the balls, maidens, runs, wickets, best and stumpings needs correcting
Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 03:20, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ianblair23 thanks for the comments and your own tweaks to the list, I think I've covered each of them and responded inline above. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:35, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ianblair23 hi Ian, any chance you could let me know if I've met with your expectations on the list? Cheers, The Rambling Man (talk) 20:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Link batsman
  • Not out is linked twice in the Key.
  • Link Mdn in the header

The list is otherwise fine, meets the FL standards, good work! Khadar Khani (talk) 04:58, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sahara4u all done I think, thanks for your review. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:40, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments from JennyOz

Prose

  • "The Australian Cricket Hall of Fame was an idea conceived by the Melbourne Cricket Club to honour Australia's legendary cricketers." - is verified by prev ref, perhaps move ref?
  • There are (by necessity) many mentions of Australia/n so maybe at "It was inaugurated on 6 December 1996 by the Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard.", remove 'of Australia'?
  • Change 'inaugurated' to 'opened' (to differentiate other inaugs plus the Howard transcript ref uses 'opening'.)
  • Selection committee, Peter King - wlink to Peter King (cricketer) - confirmed same fellow per ESPN Peter Denis King and MCC website and VMA.
  • "New members are inducted at the Allan Border Medal night." - insert 'annual' before Allan.

TRM, I will look at table next but can you pls confirm 'matches' column is intended to be within batting group? Thanks. JennyOz (talk) 14:40, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JennyOz, all done, and I moved matches out so it's no longer just within the batting column, great spot, thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:51, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

TRM, There are a few old iffy figures (eg Simpson's batting average 46.82 v 46.81 - maybe espn changed their rounding parameter??, some first class instead of Test stats) - do you prefer me to make the changes or list them here? Also, if debut is in say a 86-87 series but player's 1st Test match is in the January, we use 87? JennyOz (talk) 05:23, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JennyOz, its altogether possible that I made a typo or inherited one or two, feel free to make the changes you deem necessary. Test debut I would imagine we should use the actual year not the start year of the series. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:20, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • McCabe can be archived now
  • Key General - Career - clarify only Test career span?
  • Key Batting - remove Matches now?
  • Key Batting - add NO Not Out
  • Key Bowling - add Runs - runs conceded

I reckon I'm done. Thanks! JennyOz (talk) 13:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JennyOz I've done the key changes, I don't seem be able to get the archive bot to work right, but I will try again. Hopefully that doesn't stand in the way of your support. Thanks for all your comments. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Added archiveurl manually, hopefully all done now! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:31, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Happily signing for support. Thanks for the fixes and your patience. JennyOz (talk) 13:52, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
