Yet another centuries list (sorry guys :)), following the format of already existing FL's. Jayawardene has the most Test centuries for Sri Lanka and has the fourth highest score in Tests, so I thought he deserves his own list. I'm looking forward to your comments and suggestions. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 07:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking part in the WikiCup, BTW. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 07:39, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sure, we don't want this to become a glossary of cricket terms, but I think a link to batsman would be useful for the non-cricketing expert readers.
  • Done. Stupid mistake.
  • Shouldn't twenty-seven just be 27 in that sentence?
  • I was using numerals only for runs and wickets, but Dweller has changed that as you suggested. I don't have a problem either way.
  • I'm wondering if fourth highest should be fourth-highest?
  • Done.
  • What's ICC?
  • Mentioned. Another careless mistake.
  • "chosen.. selected... chosen... selected" - a good attempt at mixing it up a bit but two consecutive sentences with this construction gives the repeat game away for me.
  • Reworded. How is it now?
  • '"century an year later" - a year.
  • OK
  • Any links for ICC World Cup One Day International, ICC World Test?
  • "decided to recall" I get it but it may be difficult to understand that this action of a captain resulted in two batsmen being retired out.
  • Clarified.

Thanks for your suggestions. I think I have addressed the problems. Sorry about the late reply BTW; I couldn't log in for a few days. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 08:01, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • you say "leading run-scorer" for Tests, "fourth-highest run-scorer" for ODIs and "fourth highest scorer" for T20Is. They don't all need to be the same, but can you make "fourth-highest" and "fourth highest" consistent. I don't think "run-scorer" and "scorer" need to be the same as the context is reasonably obvious.
  • so that Africa XI lines up with the rest, can you use {{noflag|[[Africa XI cricket team|Africa XI]]}}?

Otherwise, everything looks good. Harrias (talk) 12:53, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Both done. Thanks for the noflag suggestion, I never thought about that template. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 13:01, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support The noflag template just makes it all a bit neater. Another fine list, congrats. I'm hoping to get Viv Richards' list up to scratch in the next week or so.Harrias (talk) 14:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
