He mate, please keep a close eye on these 2 articles as man people seem to be trying to take their lose out on them in an unacceptable manner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cricketking (talk • contribs) 11:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Good job mate, we must try and do something. Its madness!

Thanks, I expect Symonds to get some as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cricketking (talk • contribs) 11:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Dwayne Leverock
I am not vandalising the page. I am trying to put true information onto a Wikipedia page. I have included photo's and a reference. It is not my fault that certain people who do nothing else all day but looking to make others miserable keep taking it off! I'm sure Dwayne himself would be disgusted with those types of people!!!

What if I could prove it? Dwayno 99

Thanks for your message. Yes, merge them. I was just going through the grounds list on the Yorkshire CCC page and it was a redlink so sorry for the duplication. Thanks for noticing. Nick mallory (talk) 08:42, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hadlow Cricket Club
You beat me to it! - altering the template. I think I've redirected all other article links from Hadlow to Hadlow Cricket Club where appropriate. Mjroots (talk) 13:18, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Imran Khan
If you have so much time to send a guy a message; maybe you could have spent a fraction of a second of it in considering the why and wherefores of my edits. To label the edits as unconstructive and for you to say that that they appear to constitute vandalism was unneccessary. Just Click the link "Undo"; I and many others do it all the time. However i will take on board your suggestion of using the sandbox. Maybe you would like to have a look at the stub (for now) Imran Khan (Punjabi Singer) that i was making.

Re:Javagal Srinath
Hello Jpeeling, No, Not really. That site, as its name itself indicates, seems to be mirroring yuyum.com and other blog sites, or the vice versa. See this page which looks identical to the mumbaimirror page. On the other hand I searched on several other News papers and portals, this "news" has not been published anywhere. Even Google news did not produce the result when I searched about this. - KNM Talk 19:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Arthur Shrewsbury batting graph
Here we go, as requested! I'll let you place it in the article where you think it fits best.



Stop vandalising and spreading propoganda
You are spreading propogande. You should stop vandalising pages on cricket. Please do not remove critical information on Mike procter's competence as a refree because you happen to be his race/gender/compatriot. I would appreciate it if you would put your time to good use and let facts be represented as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.228.224 (talk) 00:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

West Indian cricket team in South Africa in 2007-08
You're right - Bravo was captain for both matches. The fact that they were a month apart threw me a bit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by -JP- (talk • contribs) 12:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Stop Vandalizing Cricket webpages
Get a life, stop vandalizing Mike Procter's page. You are removing relevant public domain information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheEnticer (talk • contribs) 07:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Sehwag page unsourced statement
He's scored 151 in a SECOND INNINGS, very recently. Please stop reverting to that unsourced statement about him having a lack of ability to adapt to "tougher" second innings conditions, whatever that means. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.4.145 (talk) 09:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

About Mike procter
why can't we discuss the matters based on facts in "Discussion" page. When I referred case of Rashid Latif banned by Mike Procter and Ricky Ponting not banned what wrong matter I have spoken. I have related links and proof for both the cases. please don't threaten me for Blocking. I will refer this to other moderators. We all are free to put the facts in Discussion page.--LoveIndia (talk) 10:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I see youve reverted my edit. It would have been nice for you to possibly inform me. Your revert claims that Briggs took 15 for 28, when CricInfo says Briggs took 15 for 26, which is confirmed here. Thanks. Five Years 16:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I have reverted your edit, given the above source. Five Years 16:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The scorecard of the match shows 15/28 as does Briggs' Cricinfo Profile under BBM --Jpeeling (talk) 16:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably an error on the snipet of info I was looking at. Have reverted my revert. Apologies. Five Years 17:13, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey m8, I saw that you removed the bullet points on Ronnies article??

I f.e. think that makes the article much better look! So why have you erased them?

Surrey cricketers
Doing a Google search on Stewart Storey, I stumbled upon User:Jpeeling/Surrey cricketers. It looks as though we may be working on similar lines. I've been working on creating articles for all Surrey players with over 10,000 runs, 500 wickets or 200 wicketkeeping dismissals, and Storey is the last one on that list who still needs to be done. After that, I'm intending to do those 19th century Surrey captains who are lacking an article (all 20th century ones now have articles). After that, I hope to do other Surrey plaers with 100+ appearances for the county who don't yet have articles - unless you get there first. :) See the "To Do" list on my User page. JH (talk page) 20:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Sincere apologies
Thank you for repairing my edit to Graeme Hick. For no apparent reason I'd got it into my head that the claim being made was for most runs in all forms of cricket, where Gooch still has (and may well retain) the record. Simple stupidity on my part; sorry about that. Loganberry (Talk) 15:23, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Graeme Pollock
Hi. I see you've worked on this in the past. Please see the section at WT:CRIC about the article - you are warmly invited to plunge in and help. --Dweller (talk) 22:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. Good to have you! Got RS (and an explanation!) for the nickname? - it's a nice addition. --Dweller (talk) 21:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Any good? I have a book (Cricket: Stars of Today) which contains a 12-page piece by Louis Duffus on Graeme Pollock and he offers a full explanation: The name [Little Dog] arose when his brother, with voice still unbroken, made queer-sounding appeals for l.b.w. The humorist, Springbox Atholl McKinnon, said they sounded like a dog barking, and called him 'Pooch'. When Graeme joined the provincial eleven they became 'Big Dog' and 'Little Dog'. --Jpeeling (talk) 21:32, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooohh... lovely stuff. ISBN, year of publication and page number please!!!! Are any of the photos out of copyright? --Dweller (talk) 22:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Template:Middlesex County Cricket Club squad
Hi, I've tweaked the template you made so that it only shows the surnames and not first names. I don't think there's a policy on it, but I think it looks less cluttered. If you don't like it feel free to undo my revision. Nev1 (talk) 14:34, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Good spot, it is the standard for all cricket templates and on second look it was cluttered although clearly not enough for me to notice. --Jpeeling (talk) 21:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World
My mistake. Chanderpaul won the ICC award. Well spotted. ---BlackJack | talk page 16:29, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you were merely being a tad premature, given his form over this calendar year thus far (still has a two-Test series in NZ to come) he must be favourite to receive the accolade. --Jpeeling (talk) 21:44, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Your rollback request
Hello Jpeeling, I have granted your account rollback in accordance with your request. Please remember that rollback is for reverting vandalism, and that misuse of the tool, either by revert-warring with other users, or simply reverting edits you disagree with, can lead to it being removed. For practice, you may wish to see New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 17:26, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

8-ball overs
When was the change from 8- to 6-ball overs in ODIs made? I had no idea they were originally 8-ball overs, and now knowing this I think it may be better to have "balls" as a section heading instead over "overs" (I'd changed it because deliveries isn't how you'd tell someone how you've bowled, you say 10 overs instead of 60 balls). And since we're searching for consistency across articles, all of them should probably be changed... Damn, I wish I'd thought of that before I went round changing them. Nev1 (talk) 20:37, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

And thanks for pitching in and adding references, I know it's hardly enthralling work! Nev1 (talk) 20:42, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure there was a clear dividing line between 8-ball and 6-ball overs, the first ever ODI was certainly a 8-ball one and a fair number of those in the 1970s. There's this which offers some details, I'll check Statsguru and see whether I can find more accurate details. Given the differing number of balls per over I guess "balls" is a better heading, why I didn't think of that when I started editing IDK. --Jpeeling (talk) 20:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * That link was better than I gave credit for. The last 8-ball over ODI was on England's tour of Australian in 1978-79, the matches until that date had been a mixture of both formats depending on the host country. Matches in England (including the first WC) have always been 6, in Australia 8 up to 1978-79, in NZ 8 up to 1975-76, in Pakistan 8 up to 1977-78, West Indies have always been 6, India have always been 6 (they first hosted an ODI in Nov 1981!). --Jpeeling (talk) 21:17, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I had hoped that if 8-ball overs were used universally until such-and-such a date we could compensate, but it looks like we'll have to change to balls. Oh well, at least you knew so could point out the mistake before I'd applied it to everything. Nev1 (talk) 02:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Hi. Bbcody (talk) 18:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hopper Levett
Hello. The reason I used the photo of the oil painting was to give the reader of what is a general, non-specific encyclopedia site some sense of the colour and excitement of the game. My first choice would be an individual portrait of Hopper by himself or a team photo. The Kent County Cricket Club page has nothing there. Cricinfo has a single photo of Hopper, which they credit to the Kent County Cricket Club. Do you know perhaps if such a photo is within the public domain, and if so, where it might be gotten? Thanks.MarmadukePercy (talk) 18:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

re: Sledging (cricket)
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. The ip editor is adding a lot of content, which may need revising and tidying up, which shouldn't be reported as vandalism. I have issued a 3RR warning to both parties in an effort to promote a dialogue, and have no objection to it being promptly removed by either. LessHeard vanU (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The ip editor isn't adding a lot of content, he/she is readding content which was deleted for a good reason. If you had checked his/her edit you would have seen that the content contained 46 citation needed, how is that useful? --Jpeeling (talk) 11:40, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Being an editor who has tracked the Sledging (cricket) page for some time, I must add that I am fully supportive of Jpeeling's reversions. I encourage LessHeard vanU to review the tidy-up to the article contained in | this 2 November 2008 edit by BlackJack where numerous unsourced POV was removed.  It appears to me that what the ip editor had done is to largely reinstate portions of BlackJack's historic clean-up and somewhat oddly retained all the requests for proper citations that had rendered the original piece WP:OR.  Once again it would be helpful if LessHeard vanU could consider the article's history and refrain from further over-zealous wrist-slapping (however well-intentioned).  Kind regards--  Cala braxthis  (talk) 12:24, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
