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]

Comments –

  • "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.

  • 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.
  • "BBC in 2005", year is not required
    • Removed.
  • Edgbaston -> Edgbaston Cricket Ground
  • 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
  • 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
