Bill Roe (cricketer)

 * ... that Bill Roe made the highest score in cricket at the time, when he scored 415 runs during his time at Cambridge University? Source: "So it was not WG who broke Tylecote's record but the far more obscure WN Roe, a promising schoolboy batsman who had gone up to Cambridge" ... "At the end of the day, he'd passed Tylecote's record by 11 runs - 415* in four hours 55 minutes." (ESPNcricinfo)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is long enough, uses in-line citations, is neutrally written and was nominated the same day as being expanded fivefold. Spot-checking does not find issues with plagiarism, copyvio, or unduly close paraphrasing. QPQ is complete. Hook is short enough, neutral, cited and interesting. Good to go. Great job!
