I don't know why this hasn't been reviewed yet, but here goes:

Good Article criteria (for reference)
1a) Prose is good. If you want to take the article further, then I suggest you simply sentences like "In both his other matches for the county that season, Seamer batted as part of the top order, and though he reached double figures in each of his innings, he did not achieve another half-century." which is a little complex although clear.
1b) All fine, although the lead does not make it clear when he joined Somerset. Probably worth a sentence or even clause in the second paragraph after the Oxford bit.
2 (all) Referencing is very strong, citations throughout, clear and consistent style, appropriate sections, etc. Generally excellent.
3) Scope is good, article is a satisfactory length for GA (in fact, it' more than that, since the GACR are somewhat more lenient in letter than in spirit). If you want to take it on, it definitely needs something about what he did in Sudan.
4) I have no concerns about neutrality. Obviously there are few possible "flash points" in the article.
5) Perfectly stable.
6a) The obvious image missing was of Seamer himself, so I've uploaded a fair-use image of him and added it for you. There is a clear precedent for dead figures, and the picture seemed perfect, there being no free alternative from my searches. The other image is licensed appropriately.
6b) Relevant - I assume the picture of Brasenose was an alternative to a portrait, but it's perfectly acceptable there, since it's of direct relevance to his career.

I am thus passing the article. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 15:58, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
