A previously failed FLC due to the nominator's absence. Vibhijain created the basic article, I improved it up a bit. —Vensatry (ping) 18:26, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • "ranks second in " could say behind whom.
  • "Harbhajan has the second-highest number of Test wickets by an off spinner, behind Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan." where is this referenced?
  • "being enforced to a Follow-on." -> "being forced to follow-on".
  • "six wickets for 73" vs "5 wickets for 43 runs " etc etc, be consistent.
  • Two consecutive sentences end with "in the format". Dull prose.
  • "Harbhajan Singh bowling in a Test match" no need to repeat his full name, you didn't in the previous caption.

  • I don't think "Follow-on" should be capitalized, in the lead or note b.
  • En dash needed in Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the second photo's caption.
  • Why does one table have the No. column sortable, but not the other?
  • In the second table, I see 10 and 10.0 in the Overs column. These should probably be made consistent. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:13, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • "With 28 five-wicket hauls...": I think this ought to be clarified as a statistic across all formats of the game.
    • Do we really need to say that? —Vensatry (ping) 16:28, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think it is; it's sort of explained in Kumble's list, while on Warne's and McGrath's, the figures are laid out separately. I don't care where it's mentioned -- in Harbhajan's stats or where the 41 no is explained. I'd check to see what @The Rambling Man: or other cricket friendly people have to say about this as mine could very well be a minority view.—SpacemanSpiff
  • "...including a career-best figures...": drop the article.
  • "He is most effective against Australia claiming seven of his 25 Test five-wicket hauls.": The reference doesn't support the first part of the statement.
    • Done —Vensatry (ping) 16:28, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • The ref lists out that most of his fifers against Australia, I think it's a jump to say "he is most effective against Australia" as effectiveness shouldn't be guaged only in the form of fifers. So we'll likely need a textual reference for that statement or it'll need to be reworded to just say that most of his fifers (7/25) are against Australia or something to that effect. —SpacemanSpiff
  • "Making his ODI debut against New Zealand in 1998, Harbhajan's first of the three five-wicket hauls came against England during the sixth match of England's tour of India; he took 5 wickets for 43 runs in the match which India lost.": Reads a bit odd; the reference only supports the last part of the statement.
    • Done I think —Vensatry (ping) 16:28, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I can't help but feel that the sentence is a bit too long but if others think it's ok then I'll drop my objection. —SpacemanSpiff
        • Agree that it's a little too long. You may want to have another look. —Vensatry (ping) 17:48, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Although Harbhajan made his first T20I appearance in 2006,[5] he is yet to pick up a fifer in the format. His best bowling figures of 4 wickets for 12 runs came against England in 2012.": Not sure of the value of this in the current format, we have less than 15 fifers in T20I, so this isn't an important statistic, the sentence could be condensed to just include his best figures and not include the "yet to pick up.." bit.
    • Since he is yet to retire from the format, I think it's better to have that "bit". What say? —Vensatry (ping) 16:28, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ODI stats should be cleaned up -- 10.0 should just be 10.

cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 14:37, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Just one thing: you don't need the first note at all, if you're willing to keep this than it should be like "Muttiah Muralitharan, Richard Hadlee, Shane Warne, Anil Kumble (India), Glenn McGrath, Waqar Younis, and Wasim Akram have taken more fifers then Harbhajan." or something like that......
