List of cricketers who have scored centuries in each innings of a Test match

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 11:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm surprised that how such an important list has not been created before. I believe it meets the criteria and look forward to your comments and suggestions. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 11:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "T2" has two entries in the key. --Golbez (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed and thanks &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 06:37, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments from
 * "Players from teams that are full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) have scored centuries in each innings with the exception of Bangladesh" => "Players from all teams that are full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) have scored centuries in each innings with the exception of Bangladesh"
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 07:59, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "was entered into the record books as "Most runs scored by a player in a Test match (Male)"" - I don't like the Easter Egg link on "record books", also why the need to refer to "record books" at all? Why not just put "his combined tally [...] set a record for the highest aggregate score achieved by a player in a Test match"......?
 * Removed the pipe link. Isn't a mention of "Guinness Records" noteworthy as it caters to a wide range of audience rather than cricket enthusiasts alone. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 07:59, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That makes a certain amount of sense -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:36, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "His compatriot Michael Vaughan has the least aggregate" => "His compatriot Michael Vaughan has the lowest aggregate"
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 07:59, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * "Lawrence Rowe of West Indies and Yasir Hameed of Pakistan are the only debutants to accomplish this feat" => "Lawrence Rowe of West Indies and Yasir Hameed of Pakistan are the only debutants to score centuries in both innings of a Test". As it stands "this feat" sounds like it's referring to the bit in the previous sentence, which it isn't.

Hope this helps -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:00, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Comments –
 * A comma is needed after "the longest version of the game" in the lead.
 * In the table, Warren Bardsley's first century score isn't sorting in the right order. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 02:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comments. Hope I've fixed them &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 09:46, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). (1) Paragraphs in lede look sort of uneven in size. Consider splitting the 2nd paragraph in two. (2) Notes section: notes "c" and "e" could use citations at the end of those sentences to assist the reader to find sources for that info. (3) Image review: All images check out okay. . (4) Overall it's pretty good, address those recommendations and I'd feel ready to support at that point in time. Keep me posted, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 01:31, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I've addressed each of them. Thanks for the comments &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 10:35, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. Thanks for the polite, prompt, and punctual responses to my comments, above. Much appreciated, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 11:33, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Comments The Rambling Man (talk) 11:42, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see an aggregate column as this is mentioned a couple of times in the lead.
 * Is it really needed? I don't see either cricinfo or cricketarchive reporting it. Besides, except for a few players that wouldn't be worth mentioning. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * But you have mentioned it a few times in the lead so it's relevant, no? The Rambling Man (talk) 16:21, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've mentioned it only twice – Highest and lowest. The highest is an all-time record, and made it to the Guinness books. Others don't seem significant enough to make a mention. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Why is each innings denoted with a T, i.e. T1 and T2? Why not 1st innings and 2nd innings?
 * That would confuse the readers as Test matches have a maximum of four innings played. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Not really, and besides, wouldn't that imply that the title of this list is confusing? Are there cricketers who have scored in four innings?!  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:21, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be misleading again since from the match's point of view, we don't know in which of the two innings he made centuries! &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What I mean is the title of the list says "in each innings of a Test match" so that'd be up to four centuries in a match then?! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:12, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I had this doubt whether to use "each" or "both" after creating this article. You want me to move the page now? &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 17:29, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "completes 100 runs in" wouldn't it be 100 or more?
 * I think both are right. Isn't it? &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What I mean is that it's not exactly 100 runs, it's "100 runs or more"... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:21, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Done as suggested &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "on both the occasions while scoring centuries" probably could just say "in both innings", as it's clear you're talking about double centurions.
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You note the nationality of some but not all centurions, seems anomalous.
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Comments —Zia Khan 15:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "... a total of 73 players ..." the table shows 74 players?
 * Rephrased since my original statement was wrong &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think they are 74 and 61. Are they? —Zia Khan 22:42, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm counting 60 and 74?! —Zia Khan 06:01, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've used "Since then", so ignore Bardsley &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 06:09, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "Most runs scored by a player in a Test match (Male)" I don't known the M should be in capital????
 * It has to be lowercase. Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "Australia's David Warner...." I think Australian would be more appropriate here. —Zia Khan 15:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Makes no difference &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Why T1 and T2, and not C1 and C2?
 * It's just a notation used for the items used in the table. I don't think we have any specific guideline on deciding key notations. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Add a note about table sorting.
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * There is a problem with Warner's entry.
 * Fixed &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * 1st century should sort secondarily to the 2nd or vice versa.
 * I have already used a secondary sort based on dates for both columns. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 16:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Sort by date and then look at the No. column! Also there is a double entry in the No. column. —Zia Khan 22:42, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed and thanks &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 05:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

I think I've addressed your concerns. Let me know if there are any further issues. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping) 18:25, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - I see no major issues with the list. Aureez  ( Talk ) 11:18, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
