I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it comprehensively covers the topic. The list is unlikely to expand at a rapid rate as women's matches are not played that regularly, and most of the members of the team will remain reasonably stable. The table is laid out in a similar fashion to that of the list of Test cricketers and Twenty20 International cricketers. Harrias talk 17:03, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Can a citation be added to the last paragraph of the leading section? Ruslik_Zero 18:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added one for the number of players for South Africa, but other than that there is nothing to cite. Harrias talk 18:55, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • No images?
  • I'm looking through my photos for one, if not I'll have to reuse one of the two images used for the Test and Twenty20 lists.
  • "A One Day International (ODI) is an international cricket match between two teams" missed this on previous lists but do you really need to repeat international here?
  • I would say so. I agree the duplication doesn't look great, but in defining the term 'One Day International', I think it would be inaccurate not to state it.
  • "Later in the same year"-> "Later that year"
  • Done: changed as suggested.
  • "Daleen Terblanche is the most capped player, having appeared in 61 ODIs for South Africa." no need to repeat South Africa. The title of the list gives it away!
  • Done: changed as suggested.
  • "1256" in prose, I'd prefer to see a thousand-separator, so 1,256.
  • Done: changed as suggested.
  • "Alicia Smith has claimed more ODI wickets than any other South African, having taken 50 wickets" no need to repeat "wickets" here.
  • Done: changed as suggested, though I'm not keen on the result.
  • Catches taken is all linked, Stumpings taken only links stumpings.

Support good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:36, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I do not see any more problems. Ruslik_Zero 18:53, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Cricket South Africa website seems to be down at the moment. Given that they are a stable organisation, I'll give it a couple of days to see if they get it back up. I think they may have just redesigned their site, so I may need to find where the page is now located. Otherwise, if it doesn't get fixed, I'll find an alternative source.

Comments –

  • "South Africa women did not contest their first ODI until August 1997, playing Ireland women in Belfast." Not sure how the two "women" uses work grammar-wise. I remember seeing something similar in the Twenty20 list that came through here recently; try fixing it in a similar manner as was done with that list.
  • Done: Removed the word 'women' from Ireland.
  • "but have finished second in both the two contests since." The struck words represent redundant language, since they mean the same thing as the prior word. The less wordiness, the better an article usually is.
  • Done: fixed as suggested.
