Talk:Wisden Cricketers of the Century

Career time span

edit

It seems like the table would be greatly enhanced with a little more info about each cricketer. At the very least, I should think citing the years each man's career spanned would be a valuable addition. I'll gadly do this myself when I have the time, but if someone beats me to it then so much the better. — Ringbang 20:05, 9 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Fast bowler

edit

"The editor of Wisden at the time, Matthew Engel, noted that the only real deficiency of the list was the absence of a fast bowler." Since Dennis Lillee appears at number six, this sounds very odd. Might Engel have been referring to the Top Five, which received far more publicity at the time than the full Ten.AuntFlo (talk) 06:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Reading Engel's full article, it's clear that he was indeed referring to the top five. I'll amend the article accordingly. JH (talk page) 20:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pollock

edit

How can that be controversial? There were 11 South Africans on the panel and he only received four votes! --Dweller (talk) 13:20, 11 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

First names inconsistent

edit

Donald v Viv v Garfield. Either make them all the shortened names they were known by (my preference) or all the formal long names. Any dissent on going for Don/Viv/Garry? --Dweller (talk) 19:55, 18 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
