Yipe; 235 pre-isolation SA cricketers and as of this moment we have nothing whatever on 229 of them! Just shows how big a WikiProject this is, I suppose. Loganberry (Talk) 18:40, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You spying on me on something? That was a quick reply ;)

Nah, I just happened to be looking at Recent changes at the appropriate moment. =;P Loganberry (Talk) 19:19, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say our coverage on SA cricket is pretty woeful full stop - not even a fairly first team regular like Nicky Boje has an article...but yes, there is certainly things to work on Sam Vimes 18:43, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Should we perhaps make a template with "list of Test cricketers"? Sam Vimes 18:43, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We have systematic bias towards England and Australia, as that's where most of our members are. Then India comes a poor third, with the other countries hardly featured at all. I suppose our aim has to be (1) to have an article for each Test cricketer; (2) to expand that to have an article for each international cricketer. , jguk 19:05, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Stats incomplete[edit]

194.176.105.37 (talk) 10:01, 4 July 2011 (UTC) Wonderful page thank you - but there is a whole group of SA cricketers whose statistics seem to have stalled in 2006. I think it starts with Shaun Pollock on down. It appears that more recent stats HAVE been updated but the gap in the middle remains. I'm afraid I have no idea how to correct this myself! Can anyone help?[reply]
