WP:FLC[edit]

A lovely list; should pass WP:FLC if the number of redlinks are reduced. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nimbalkar[edit]

The opposing captain, Thakore Saheb of Rajkot, conceded the match when Nimbalkar was nine short of the then world-record score, held by Don Bradman, apparantly because he did not wish to see Bradman's record being broken.

There is a good chance that the Bradman story is an urban legend. I have read a Nimbalkar interview (which I'll dig up some time) which says nothing of it, and only hints that Thakore Saheb conceded the match because his pride had been too badly hurt. There was yet another story that used to do rounds here that BBN could not continue after lunch because he was getting married that evening, which is certainly false.

Date links[edit]

Depending on the reader's date preferences, the format the dates are given in could be problematic, reading e.g. "18, 19, February 20" or "18, 19, 2/20" instead of the intended "18, 19, 20 February". I suggest that dates should be delinked? TheGrappler 20:24, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of a neat way around this - either we leave the date unwikified, or it looks wrong for someone with the wrong preferences. As it stands, at least the default looks correct. -- ALoan (Talk) 17:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be unwikified for this reason. I'm going to discuss it at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) too. Stephen Turner (Talk) 18:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no, there is a way round it. You should write [[6 June|6 June]] for the last date, to force the formatting. Lara's 501* actually does this right, but the other lines should do it too. Stephen Turner (Talk) 18:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But not linking might be just as good. If the links aren't there for date preferences, what are they there for? Stephen Turner (Talk) 18:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Test cricket triple centuries is partially (!) unlinked as a result of an AWB pass; the hat-trick lists are fully date linked - there are a few Test cricket hat-tricks taken on different days, but the dates are given in full, so preferences still work: here, there are too many dates to do that, I fear. -- ALoan (Talk) 18:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lara Test 400[edit]

This has been left off the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.199.156 (talk) 07:38, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Match summaries[edit]

I reread the "history" section, and it seemed to me a bit unbalanced with all the detail about Northeast's recent innings. I thought this could be improved by providing match summaries (an approach that seems to work well at the List of first-class cricket records). It's not perhaps perfectly executed yet, but it does seem to me to have improved the article. I'd be interested to know whether others agree? --RobertG ♬ talk 10:45, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
