List of international cricket centuries by Garfield Sobers

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  07:51, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I've been working on this list for quite some period of time. Sobers is arguably the greatest all-rounder to have played Test cricket. The centuries list is almost nearing completion with all the red links turning out to new pages with FL stars. We should have got this long back! Comments and suggestions are welcome. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  07:51, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Comments HTH -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:05, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * "He has scored" => "He scored" (as he's not likely to score any more)
 * Refs after "greatest all-rounder" are not in numerical order
 * "Sobers scored 8,032 runs while retiring in 1972" = > "Sobers scored 8,032 runs before retiring in 1972" - he didn't score the runs while he was in the process of retiring
 * Fixed all. Thanks for your sharp comments. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  13:18, 31 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Support - all seems OK now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:58, 31 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment – Photo caption: "second highest number of centuries in Test cricket a the time of his retirement." "a" → "at". Giants2008  ( Talk ) 00:15, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  05:45, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Support – Good work! Zia Khan 23:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment: Might be worth mentioning that the "Batsman of the Match" wasn't a regularly presented award (perhaps add a note to the key), unlike the "Man of the Match" they have these days; most of the matches in the list don't have any such award. I was wondering why he didn't have more until it dawned on me that those awards are a more recent addition to the game, so I reckon somebody who doesn't know that piece of history would find it confusing.

 * I'm removing it for the same reason which Harrias mentioned here. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  05:00, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Support: No other issues I can see. I think this is good to go. Chamal T •C 06:44, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - About the only issues I can find is that 'duck' is not defined (and that really isn't an issue at all if the reader has a knowledge of cricket) and I would put a comma after "England" in the sentence saying he had 10 centuries against them.  Toa   Nidhiki05  02:48, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support. I've not defined Duck since that's wiki-linked. Fixed the other issue. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  06:23, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
