 * I've listed this article for peer review because I want to get this article to GA status if possible. There seems to be a good basis to the article already, I just want to know how I can turn it into a GA.

I think you should get this copyedited by one of the regulars before it is PRed. The language needs to be improved at several places. If you take the intro -
 * The first line should simply say who he is - cricketer, batsman, captain of South Africa
 * No need for the details like the Pollock affair in the intro
 * Bit more about what he does
 * IMHO, it is better not to include stats which are very volatile in the intro - in this case the 54 matches, which will become out of date tomorrow. Tintin 16:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * There should be no spaces between a comma or full stop, and the reference.
 * The reference shouldn't have redlinks in and some of them don't actually link anywhere, e.g. [http:content-uk.cricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/47270. profile of Graeme Smith]. Cricinfo.
 * The individual sentances in the Career highlights sections should be combined to make larger paragraphs.
 * Headings should only have one capital letter in per Manual of Style (capital letters). For example Early Years would become Early years.
