Featured list candidates/List of international cricket centuries by Rahul Dravid/archive1

Another cricket list, but this time not an Australian... I hope I got the basics right, sortability, dabs, live ext links, alt text, MOS-compliance, and hope that the list meets with the approval of the community. I look forward to any and all comments, thanks in advance for your time and reviews. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Another, shame it's not an Australia; at least it's not a pom :) "He was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2000, as well as both ICC Test Player of the Year and ICC Player of the Year in 2004." Is this really necessary for a list on centuries? Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 11:47, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Not strictly necessary but it adds a little flavour to suggest that he was recognised, in some part, for his successes with the bat (especially in 2000 after his amazing 1999...) The Rambling Man (talk) 11:55, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment -- Really good to see Dravid here! Shouldn't the 180 in the Second Test, 2000–01 Border-Gavaskar Trophy find mention in the lead? While he's scored better, this innings has received a lot of coverage, although it wasn't the highest score in that game. -SpacemanSpiff 16:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Sure thing. I'll see what I can conjure up! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Added a bunch of stuff about that match, hope it works for you. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - That looks good, some other minor stuff below. -SpacemanSpiff 18:13, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
More comments
"...scored his first international Test century..." -- redundant "international"?
"...Dravid led India to victory by 171 runs..." -- led --> helped lead? Perhaps reserve "led" for Laxman's list?
"...score is 270, achieved in April..., helped India..." -- some sort of a rephrase maybe?
"...against each of the other..." --> "...against all the other..."?
Should some mention of his 78 100+ partnerships be included? It's not directly tied to the centuries, but is a world record and sort of related to his centuries. I think it'll make a good add for context of his scores, but isn't covered by the lists, so I don't have a strong opinion on this.
cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 18:13, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks very much for your comments. I think I've covered them all, please don't hesitate to comment further. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:25, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - The partnership record is a Test record,[2] so it should move up to the earlier passage; don't think he's got as good a record in ODIs. Looks good otherwise. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 22:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Moved up. Existing reference backs up the record. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:00, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - I just made a change from "international" to "Test" for the record, hope you don't mind. -SpacemanSpiff 17:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
