West Indian hard-hitter, Chris Gayle, played many interesting innings in international cricket including successful chases. He scored centuries in all format of the game. This list includes covers almost every aspect of his international centuries and I think this according to the Wikipedia featured list standards. Looking forward to your comments and suggestions, as always! Regards, —Zia Khan 18:12, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a really good list. However, I spot-checked the game at Lord's, and the date in the list doesn't match the date in the ref. Have you double-checked that all the info listed is correct? Furthermore, some of the ODI entries aren't entered in date order (sort by date then look at the No. column and you'll see what I mean). Adabow (talk) 10:37, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. —Zia Khan 11:31, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Another inconsistency: the ref for the 18 May 2006 gives the location as Sabina Park, not Kensington Oval. Please check all the data for every single entry. Adabow (talk) 22:36, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, done. —Zia Khan 11:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • "Christopher Henry Gayle (more commonly known as Chris Gayle)" - far more succinct to just put "Christopher Henry "Chris" Gayle"
    • "fifteen, twenty-one and one occasion" - the fact that 15 and 21 are plural numbers but then you use the singular "occasion" really jars, but I'm not sure how to re-word it. Maybe put "he has scored centuries (100 or more runs in a single innings) on fifteen occasions in Test matches, twenty-one occasions in One Day" etc etc
    • "man-of-the-match performance in Queen's Park." => "man-of-the-match performance at Queen's Park."
    • "Gayle is one of the four players to achieve two triple centuries in Test cricket" => "Gayle is one of four players to achieve two triple centuries in Test cricket"
    • "and is most successful against New Zealand and South Africa" => "and has been most successful against New Zealand and South Africa"
    • "Gayle started his ODI career from a match against India" => "Gayle started his ODI career with a match against India"
    • "He is the first and one of the nine players to score a century in T20I" => "He was the first player to score a century in T20I and one of nine players to achieve the feat as of April 2014"
    • Photo caption: "Gayle scored one of his triple century" => "Gayle scored one of his triple centuries"
    • Note 2: "The other three players to accomplish this feats" => "The other three players to accomplish this feat"

  • Delegate comment - This has been open for two months with very little interest, and thus I am archiving it. Please feel free to renominate at a later date. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:42, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
