Image reminder[edit]

As soon as it gets the all-clear from Commons, I'll replace the image with File:Muralitharan bowling to Adam Gilchrist.jpg ... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:36, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No harm in using both – one to show what he looks like, and one of him in action. Bencherlite ^Talk 14:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I'll fiddle around once the licence has been reviewed. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced statements[edit]

Please provide sources for the following statements:

"His third ODI century, against Pakistan in 1998, helped Australia to set a new record for the highest successful ODI runchase at the time."
" His fifth century, also against Sri Lanka in the same season, set a new record for the highest ODI score by an Australian."

The rest of the article is comprehensively referenced, these two statements appear to be "at the time" records which have been superseded since, and unless reliable references are provided, I suggest they're left out. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:01, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They can be found easily. Also the 350 thing in Christchurch, just because it is superseded, doesn't mean that it was a bad performance as in many sports, such as swimming, better equipment has made later competitors more statistically impressive, same for nutrition etc. Else we would say that Mark Spitz is no better than a 15-year-old. He actually swam faster in 1992 as an old man than in 1972. In cricket, obviously better bats with a larger sweet spot, roped in fences, more fielding restrictions. Up until Jayasuriya/Kalu at the 1996WC, 260 was generally a gigantic score and it just keeps increasing. Just because Gambhir and Sehwag will probably end up with better averages than Gavaskar doesn't necessarily mean that they are more accomplished, or that many people have now scored more runs that Bradman.

If they can be found easily then please help as I actually can't find them easily, and I've looked. I know you want a "record" for each of these ODIs but this is a list, not an article, and we need a summary of the most notable achievements. The context you're providing is original research. Absolute records are fine. If you have sources for the above, please let me know. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:29, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't propose to put any of the stuff about the changes in the way ODIs are played: New Australian record in NZ, WR run-chase, 154 is Aus record Just go to the scorecard at CI and click on the almanac link, it has everything. SAme for the Mumbai Test century in 2001. YellowMonkey (bananabucket!) 07:44, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
