List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Graeme Swann

 * Nominator(s):, Harrias talk 08:34, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Graeme Swann is England's best spin bowler of the modern era. Were it not for his childish antics when he was originally called up by England that meant he was dropped and ignored by the coach at the time, he may have set a number of records. As it was, he managed a fair bit in his somewhat shortened career until a combination of injuries and Australians forced his retirement. Following the style set by plenty of similar lists before, this list summarises his five-wicket hauls. The list was initially created by, and I recently went through and tidied up the prose and the table to bring it up to what I hope are FL standards. As usual, all comments, improvements and thoughts are welcome! Harrias talk 08:34, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Comments from FrB.TG
 * "17 in Tests and one in ODIs" – see WP:NUMNOTES.
 * Done. Harrias talk 20:37, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * "The English cricket journalist Scyld Berry" – I don't know if "the" is needed.
 * It very much is in British English (and to be honest, any "professional standard" of English). Harrias talk 20:37, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh yes. I didn't notice that the subject is British. My bad! -- Frankie  talk 20:43, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Pretty nice list. -- Frankie  talk 10:50, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * "He did not claim any five-wicket haults in T20I cricket; his best bowling figures in the format were three wickets for 13 runs" – again, see NUMNOTES.
 * In this case I disagree. The number of wickets and runs are not comparable quantities really. I'm not against changing if you really insist, but I don't think the MOS requires it. Harrias talk 20:37, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:NOSTRIKE says "do not use unpronounceable symbols". I am not sure if asterisks are one of them; it does not look appealing to me. Instead, you could use a hashtag or something.
 * Changed it to § . Harrias talk 20:37, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Ref 3: ESPNcricinfo and ESPN should be de-linked and instead, they could be linked to ref. 1 as you have linked on first occurrences.
 * Done. Harrias talk 20:37, 19 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Support – See above. -- Frankie  talk 11:37, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
