Craig Kieswetter[edit]
Craig Kieswetter was one of those England cricketers who bounced in and out of the team. He had a good run in one-day cricket early in his career, and was man of the match in the final when England won the World Twenty20, the first one-day trophy won by the team. He later lost his England place to one of his Somerset team-mates. At domestic level, he was one of Somerset's star players until he was struck in the eye by the ball, ending his career prematurely.
This article underwent a GA review by Sturmvogel 66, who helped to reduce the amount of jargon used, or at least reminded me to explain it or wikilink it. Relentlessly very kindly copy-edited the article, both improving the quality of the prose, and identifying a number of areas where the referencing fell short. Crisco 1492 took a quick look at the images. Harrias talk 09:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC) Comments from Dweller[reply]
- Significant omission: description of his batting style and keeping abilities, and his role (opener, etc)
- Cricket helmet says "grill". This article uses "grille". Which?
- What's he doing now?
- What's his vision like now?
- With both of these points: there's been nothing in reliable sources (ie, not Twitter) since he retired. He did say he was interested in getting into the media, which was mentioned in an interview he did around his retirement, but he certainly hasn't as yet that I've seen.

- If he was 18 when he went to Millfield, was he 2 years older than all the other kids?
- No explanation that I could see about how he managed to qualify for England
- Family? Interests?
- I've mentioned his parents early on, I know he has at least a brother, but I was loathe to mention him without any sources that specifically mention if he has any other siblings, could add it though? Interest-wise, there is nothing note-worthy, anything that could be added would just be trivia really; football team supported and that sort of rubbish. Not sure any of it could be sourced anyway.

More to come, perhaps --Dweller (talk) 15:39, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dweller: Thanks for those comments; I've replied to a few and would be interested on your thoughts, while some others I need to spend more time on. Harrias talk 17:03, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
