List of international cricket centuries by Inzamam-ul-Haq

Featured list candidates/List of international cricket centuries by Inzamam-ul-Haq/archive1

Nominator(s): Zia Khan 12:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that this meets all the FLC criteria. This is loosely based upon existing FLs, List of international cricket centuries by Mohammad Yousuf and List of international cricket centuries by Kumar Sangakkara. Comments or suggestions are appreciated... Zia Khan 12:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The prose needs some copy-editing.
The first para could do better with the stats, instead of opinions. Both would anyway go in his side. :)
- The first para always introduce the article.
  - But add some more stats. I can't even in his rank in the century scorers. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 12:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Adding more to the first para would be excessive. The rank is alawys given at the end, in this case I've already put his Test in the related para. Zia Khan 12:55, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Added his position at the end. Zia Khan 13:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why not move the stadium pic to the key section. It will save some space.
- Done.
Category:Test cricket records is not applicable here.
- Why not? 25 centuries, 329 runs in innings, century in 100th Test, etc. are Test cricket records.
  - But there are ODI 100s too. Also 100s list is a stat, not a record. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 12:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think all the 100s list include this category. Zia Khan 12:55, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Then Category:One Day International cricket records is also applicable. What I could suggest is, Category:Cricket records and statistics is the best choice. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 13:00, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Done. Zia Khan 13:24, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I might be getting a lot demanding, but I think you could add "List of centuries by opponent" and "List of centuries by year", similar to what has been done at the 100s list for the god himself.
- I think these things are unnecesary and also I've already said that the list is based upon existing FLs, Yousuf and Sangakkara.
  - Ok then, I would not press much hard on that. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 12:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Add a key for ref, or merge the ref with the result.
- Is this really important to add a key for this?
  - Most of our readers would need that. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 12:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Done. Zia Khan 12:55, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no mention of Faisalabad and Karachi in the lead, where he scored the most 100s, 3 each.
- Three centuries at a ground are not as sagnificant as this: "Inzamam scored Test centuries at 18 cricket grounds, including 13 at venues outside Pakistan."
  - Fine. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 12:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~"As of August 2012, he is fourteenth in overall among all-time combined century-makers". Remove "in" from this part to fix the grammar.~~
- Removed.
~~Last word of the Notes and References heading should be de-capitalized.~~ Giants2008 (Talk) 23:20, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"His first Test century came a year later against West Indies..." should be "against the West Indies..." there is another one further down the article as well
- Done.
"His score of 329, ~~made~~ against New Zealand..."
- Done.
no need to ref 9 just twice in same sentence, just use it once at the end of the sentence
- Fixed.
"In ODI matches, Inzamam is fourth in the all time list of highest run scorers in an ODI career, with 11739 runs from 378 matches..." in an ODI career is redundant already established we are talking about ODI
- Fixed.
"a position ~~which~~ he shares..."
- Done.
Don't need ref in the key, clear what that column is for
- This was suggested by Vaibhav Jain. Any way, I've removed this.
Is that key description for Date correct? To me it infers the day the match between the teams started, shouldn't it be the date Inzamam scored the century?
- I think this is more suitable because dates only coincide ODI centuries. It may take two different dates to achieve a Test century.

Source seems to list start date, as day match started so not a problem, just wanted to clear that up. NapHit (talk) 18:04, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Caption "most number of centuries" - no need for "number of".
- Done.
"and made 8820 runs" would prefer "scored".
- Done.
I would also prefer to see 8,820 and thence 11,739...
- Done.
"at Edgbaston Cricket Ground," I would pipelink that to just Edgbaston.
- Done.
"at Antigua Recreation Ground," at the Antigua...? Similar comment applies to other Grounds. (Look at the caption you've written, for example, ".. at the Gaddafi Stadium, ...")
- Done.
Four paras in the lead is perhaps a little too much, the list isn't that long.
- Removed some text and merged 3rd and 4th para.
Ref 20 doesn't need "Pakistan records" in the title.
- Fixed.
M in M Chimmaswamy has a full stop after it.
- Fixed. Zia Khan 15:52, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think you need the No. column, but there appears already a passive consensus above to accept it. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:05, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- We know that 25 centuries are there in the "List of Test centuries", but to confirm this we'll need a No. column, I think. Zia Khan 21:19, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

8,820 runs in Tests, why not 11,739 runs?
- He scored 11,739 in ODIs not in Tests.
  - I meant the comma which was not there in 11739 —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 16:03, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"BBC in 2005", year is not required
- Removed.
Edgbaston -> Edgbaston Cricket Ground
- It is suggested by The Rambling Man, see his comment above.
  - Any reason for it. Except this you have specifically used the ground names for all others —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 16:03, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Edgbaston Cricket Ground is commonly known as Edgbaston, Birmingham. Zia Khan 21:09, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Edgbaston is the name of a locality in Birmingham —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 04:53, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
11,739 runs from 378 matches in the third para is repetitive
- Fixed.
"he is thirteenth in the overall list of most hundreds in a Test career" -> most hundreds in a Test cricket (or Tests)
- Done.
"2006 series between the teams" -> 2006 series between the two teams
- Done.
"He made 11 not out in the match". This fact is not required. A mention of this can be meaningful only if his highest score is close to hundred. You can directly say something like he never made a hundred in T20I
- Done.
"a position he shares with Sunil Gavaskar, Viv Richards, Herschelle Gibbs, Desmond Haynes, Steve Waugh and Chris Gayle". This can be included under a FN
- Done.
  - Inzamam shares the position he with... —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 16:06, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Fixed. Zia Khan 21:09, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While sorting the score column in descending order, 112 off 109 balls should sort before 112 off 163 balls
- Fixed.
The cricinfo link at the EL shouldn't be there, since it's already used as a ref
- Removed. Zia Khan 14:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
