Talk:Bailey Wightman

Identity
Just leaving this here for now. I am fairly certain the bloke is the same one that I've got running through all the sources. It makes sense to me anyway. CricketArchive has three profiles for him at present - one for the main player, one for the Bradford and Bingley chap and one for the Tunbridge Wells gentleman (you can't be a chap if you're in Tunbridge Wells). CricInfo are even failing to insert him into the scorecard at present - I think their system is just confused. Given all of that, I think describing him as "English-born Australian" is probably the best choice for now - some sources say he was born i Warwick, some in Leamington Spa, but they seem to be effectively the same place anyway.

Both CricInfo and CricketArchive seem to give his bowling style as right-arm medium. I've seen Australian sources that say fast, and The Guardian is saying "paceman" in its live blog. I've ended up with fast-medium for now. Most bowlers seem to end up as fast-medium anyway. Unless anyone can find anything else? Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:54, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Great work with this BST. Cricinfo have just published this story, so I guess their scorecard should update shortly.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:26, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hmm, so birth date: CricInfo says June; CricketArchive says July - so he's either 21 or 22... Press reports say 22, but they've probably looked him up on CricInfo. The Hyde source (who he did appear to play for in 2018 as well as B&B - who report his batting style as "tries hard" btw, which I do feel should be official) agrees with June and probably comes from that agency that places cricketers in clubs. Is that reasonable for now? Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:04, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, that seems like a reasonable assumption for now. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 19:34, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Scorecard now updated to show he played and is a named replacement.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 10:55, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
