Dear Wikipedia Administrator,

Sub : Making Cricket Statistics more relevant and meaningful.

I am a regular follower of Cricket statistics published by you on Wikipedia. I wish to draw your kind attention that in the List of International Cricket Centuries scored by any player say Sachin Tendulkar or Jacques Kallis, in column 5 of the "List of Test Cricket Centuries" under the heading "Test", you are presently mentioning the number of tests played in that particular series alongside that particular century, which is irrelevant and meaningless piece of information. Instead, it makes better statistics to mention the total number of Test matches played by the player alongside each century in this column. For example, Sachin Tendulkar scored his 1st Test Century in his 1st Test match, 29th Test Century in his 110th Test match, 30th Test Century in his 114th Test match, 50th Test Century in his 195th Test match, and so on and so forth. Since Don Bradman scored his 29th century in his 52nd Test match, it makes good sense to compare and analyse the number of Test matches taken by the other batsmen to score their 29th century.

Likewise, in the List of ODI Centuries in column 5 titled "Inn" you are presently mentioning whether a particular ODI century was scored when the team batted first or batted second. Here again, it makes better statistics to also mention in the next column, the total number of ODI's played to score that century (as indicated in the example above).

I earnestly request you to upgrade your information so that performances of players can be better analyzed and compared.

A line in reply to my request and suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Rohit Samarth Mumbai, India

I just deleted the above entry, which you also posted on the talk page of the spoken Wikipedia project. This definitely doesn't belong there. --LordOider (talk) 20:14, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
