 * Pictogram voting keep.svg New enough, properly sourced, generally well done. Looks good to me, except it should be four in defeats, not five (so far as I can see). —Cliftonian (talk) 05:48, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know anything about cricket, but is this unusual?--Carabinieri (talk) 21:37, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I found a mistake: a defeat against Pakistan in 2005 was marked as a win, and the confusion comes from the fact that some of the five-wicket hauls came with two in one match (against Australia on 18 March 2001, for example). Yes, this is unusual. In an innings, you have ten batsmen out of eleven who will be out, and the bowlers rotate every six balls. Getting out is unusual, and generally each bowler will get one or two wickets in an innings. Getting five at a time is quite an achievement, and Harbhajan Singh's 28 is, as the article states, the second-highest. Perhaps this would be a better hook than what we have now, which is not really very interesting. —Cliftonian (talk) 03:30, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I found a second mistake, but have now double-checked and it looks fine now. A note to Vibhijain: please double-check your statistics next time. Looks good to go now. Symbol confirmed.svg —Cliftonian (talk)</b></b> 03:36, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
