List of international cricket centuries by Mohammad Azharuddin

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  08:03, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Another centuries list, this time about the former Indian captain. I remember watching Azhar as a senior person playing alongside Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid and Kumble—all of them seem to have overshadowed his achievements. If anyone comes across a free image of Azhar, it would be highly appreciated! Look forward to your constructive comments and suggestions. &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  08:03, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Support - all comments resolved, all criteria appear to have been met, this list is a good all-rounder! ★ Bald Zebra ★ talk 14:07, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The first para should have a sentence about the life-ban imposed on him, and possibly the decision of the High Court to lift the ban. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 07:00, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Does that stuff really matter in these type of lists? &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  17:44, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * A life-ban is a major thing in any cricketing career. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 06:34, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Support– Meets the standards. Zia Khan 19:20, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

On the whole a good list, as I've come to expect.
 * Comments from  Harrias  talk
 * I agree with Zia Khan's comment about Bangladesh; a note would probably suit best, something like "Bangladesh, now a Test playing nation, did not begin playing Test cricket until seven months after Mohammad Azharuddin's final Test appearance."
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  08:06, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that given the ban was what finished Azharuddin's career, it is certainly worthy of mentioning in the first paragraph; without that ban, he might have gone on to score more centuries, after all. Indeed, I think the current use of "..until his retirement." is misleading; he did not retire, he was banned; unless the various articles have given me completely the wrong impression.

 * "He scored a century in his last Test innings against South Africa in March 2000." Place "against South Africa" inside a pair of commas, otherwise the sentence gives the impression it was the last time he played Test cricket against South Africa, but that he could have played against other sides after that time.
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  20:33, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I think (I might have miscounted, but I did count twice) that he is joint twenty-fifth, not twenty-sixth.
 * Done &mdash; Vensatry (Ping me)  20:33, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * As Zia Khan alludes to above, although he mention his debut ODI century was two years after his debut, you don't specify in which year he made his debut.
 * Just mentioned that his ODI debut was mentioned in the prior paragraph, sorry. Still might be best to making it a little clearer though!  Harrias  talk 13:34, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Given that Kolkata was officially named Calcutta until 2001, and his appearances all pre-date that, I think that Calcutta should be used in the list. Similarly for centuries made in Chennai/Madras prior to 1996. Not so sure about Bombay/Mumbai, which I think is a less clear-cut case.

 * Test century #7, at Faisalabad, should presumably be listed as "Away".  Harrias  talk 13:33, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Comments –
 * BCCI should be spelled out in the lead. Non-cricket fans like myself aren't going to know what this stands for at first glance.
 * "In a career that spanned for 15 years". Remove "for"?
 * "during the England's 1984–85 tour of India." Remove "the".
 * Period needed at the end of note 4. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:22, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
