Handedness

Cricinfo says LHB; CricketArchive says RHB. He's actually left-handed, as confirmed by this Independent article reprinted on findarticles.com. Loganberry (Talk) 16:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CricketArchive has now corrected itself; everyone now agrees on LHB. Loganberry (Talk) 01:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The beard

Owais, there are other sources^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] that imply "The beard that's feared" is a nickname or promotional tag or whatever. You can choose a different source to cite if you like. --Fauzan^{✆ talk}_{✉ mail} 09:39, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moeen or Ali?

MOS:SURNAME says that when you aren't using Moeen Ali's fullname, you should use his surname, Ali, not his given name, Moeen- this article refers to him as both Moeen and Ali in different places. I know some cricketers, such as Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad use their given name in articles, so was wondering which name people thought was most appropriate for this article? Joseph2302 (talk) 09:59, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I realise I'm bringing up an old point here, but I agree: the article uses both. Today's BBC article (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/55532526) uses 'Moeen' - can anyone shed any light on this? Hudders44 (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is moeen ali a Batting All-rounder or a Bowling All-rounder????

Is moeen ali a Batting All-rounder or a Bowling All-rounder Chieficon (talk) 17:41, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does it really matter, it seems a quite subjective question? At international level, he is bowling all-rounder; at domestic level a batting one. For England he would not get in the team if weren't for his bowling; for Worcester, he bats in the top-order and his bowing is a bonus. At international level, he has bowled in more innings than he's batted, the reverse is true in domestic cricket. Spike 'em (talk) 18:43, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits

Recently there have been a lot of potentially unconstructive (and regularly reverted) edits to this page changing Ali's grandfather's home from Azad Kashmir to 'Pakistan Occupied Kashmir'. Would it be worth temporarily blocking edits from new users? The Raincloud Kid (talk) 17:45, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
