List of American ODI cricketers

 * Oppose. For god's sake, they've only played two matches. I've suggested before that the members of the Cricket Wikiproject shouldn't be nominating nascent and very short lists like this. I have absolutely no objection to cricket lists per se - indeed, I've voted to support some of them - but I don't believe that a list like this, which does very little more than regurgitate content from howstat, can really be said to "exemplify Wikipedia's very best work". And if that doesn't count as an actionable objection, how about this: despite having only played two matches - and according to United States cricket team, not being likely to play more any time soon - the list quite ridiculously gives batting and bowling averages to two decimal places. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 10:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Renata is right - I lost my cool there. Apologies all round, especially to jguk. My objections still stand, but my language was intemperate and I have struck through what seems to me the worst parts of it. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 13:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I saw it a couple of days ago and I didn't want to vote, because it is a good list, but somehow does not live up to the featured status. The above vote is quite heated, but I think he has a point... Sorry, and very nice work on other cricket lists. Renata 08:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
