Will probably need to do a lot of conferring with nominator, as I see the possibility of philosophical disagreements between us:

  • For example, the very first thing I would do to this article is swipe the first paragraph of the Keith Miller article and place it atop this one. With no idea who Keith Miller is, the article is disconnected from any context.
  • Is there an article or list of cricket terminology? I have no idea what half this article means.
Yes. List of cricket terms YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 02:46, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please check for typos:
    • 15 fours and three sixes as be attacked the bowling
    • and was still rising when it his the upper deck
    • Out temperaments are so different
  • I see Pollard and Whitington in the notes, but not the Bib.?
Added, sorry about that. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 03:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No causation is implied in any of these things unless explicitly stated. He is a regular and frontline bowler and batsman so it is there simply to note the captain didn't feel the need to use him. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 05:18, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As in the rules of cricket, or why Miller wasn't used or why the tail fell apart? As for the second, they were just outplayed by the bowlers, did you want me to add "because they were not good enough on the day" each time a bad performance is documented?

I just meant the bit about him not playing. I'll make you a deal: I'll try to add what I think is missing, and then you check to see if I added anything wrong. ; Ling.Nut (talk—WP:3IAR) 05:52, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A suggestion. Try the following: Miller was not required (asked?) to bowl in the innings and the tourists won by 244 runs. Use of the term as can be a little ambiguous as it can mean while as well as because. In context this may not always be an issue but clearly it is here. -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:56, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, I could do with all the help I can get. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 06:00, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(undent) yes Mattinbgn you are correct; that's the amibuity i was after. Tks for the help; you are certainly not in the way! Ling.Nut (talk—WP:3IAR) 06:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In cricket, tourist is a general word for a touring team from overseas. YellowMonkey(click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 05:18, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Tour and Tourist have been added to List of cricket terms -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:29, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it does. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 05:30, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Then please verify my edit here. Tks. Ling.Nut (talk—WP:3IAR) 06:07, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
