List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Dale Steyn

 * Nominator(s): Zia Khan 04:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

One of the best bowler in the recent cricket and world no. 1 Test bowler, South African Dale Steyn has many memorable and match-winning performances to his name. He has taken the most number of fifers in Test cricket for South Africa. I've worked on the list and now I feel this fulfils the FLC criteria. Looking forward for your comments/suggestions, as always...!!! Cheers, Zia Khan 04:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment – "Steyn remained the ICC's Test Player of the Year in 2008". Unless he had won the honor in 2007, this should be "was named" or similar. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 00:23, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. Zia Khan 21:25, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Would be good to say in the lead what type of bowler he is (spinner/fast/etc)
 * "The fastest South African bowler to reach 100 Test wickets" - very confusing wording, makes it sound like of all the SA bowlers to get 100 wickets, he bowled the fastest. Maybe try something like "he reached 100 Test wickets in fewer matches than any other South African bowler"
 * "Steyn made his One Day International (ODI) debut for African XI ..... against the Asian XI" - either have "the" in front of both names or neither
 * For the 26 December 2008 match, you don't show the symbol for "10 wickets taken in the match" - if he took two fifers then surely he took 10 wickets in total?
 * That's what I've got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:51, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * All done, I guess. Zia Khan 14:22, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - good work -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:03, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Sorting by date in reverse order doesn't sort the No. correspondingly, i.e. I get 20, 21, 19...
 * I've no idea how to do this?! Zia Khan 19:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not essential but I'll have a think about how to fix this (perhaps others could weigh in if they have a solution?) The Rambling Man (talk) 19:38, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I fixed this, with the addition of 1 and 2  into the cell. There might be a more elegant solution, but this does the job as far as I can tell.  Harrias  talk  09:32, 3 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Support you've clearly worked out how to do these lists, and I can't find anything to really fault from this list. Good work.  Harrias  talk 09:32, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
