It is nearly five years since this became a GA and its history since then indicates a considerable input of trivial, unsourced information with consequent impact upon quality and sourcing. It was wrongly presented to FAC in April this year and effectively rubbished there because of, in the main, poor sourcing. In essence, the problem is the amount of attention the article has received from the subject's "fans" in recent times.
In terms of WP:GACR, I think #1 is okay on the whole although a reviewer would certainly list numerous points for quick resolution. It would fail on #2, especially #2b and with the possibility of #2c arising. It is generally okay on #3 though, again, a reviewer would almost certainly raise queries and require removal of trivia like non-noteworthy awards. GACR #4 is frequently compromised by the fan inputs but, to be fair, the cricket project seem to be reverting those in good time. The fan inputs don't really constitute a threat to stability so #5 is okay, and I'd be happy with #6 as there don't seem to be any imagery issues.
I think the article would probably fail a GAR, subject to anyone being able to quickly resolve its problems if put on hold for a week. I recommend that it is delisted so that necessary work can be done to restore quality and ensure good sourcing throughout. It could then be renominated at GAN.

There has been no movement on this GAR for three weeks now and the article has continued to be hit by inappropriate edits which are swiftly reverted. I recommend that this GAR is closed due to lack of interest and the article is demoted to class=start (I don't think it is worth B or C until someone does a thorough proofread and copyedit). Thanks.
