I've listed this article for peer review because I've been working on the list for the past couple of days and I feel it's currently in good shape and can be improved further. I want everyone's feedback on how to make this an FL.

Quick comment
  • "Lee however, never managed to take more than five wickets in a single innings in any format of the game." His best performance in an innings in first-class cricket is 7/114: I think you need to specifiy "in any format of the international game." I'll try to take a further look at this later, feel free to drop me a message on my talk page if I haven't in a few days. Harrias talk 06:47, 17 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Further comments
  • "A right-arm fast bowler, he has been described as "the world's fastest recorded bowler in modern times", along with Shoaib Akhtar." – This rings false for me: saying someone is the fastest, and then adding a caveat that it is along with someone else doesn't sound right. Also, I'm pretty sure Shaun Tait bowled faster. I would suggest weakening it to something along the lines of "A right-arm fast bowler, he was one of the fastest international bowlers during his career." You can still add the bit about Shoaib if you think it is necessary: I'm not convinced.
  • "Lee made his Test debut in December 1999,[6] against India and his.." – Both the reference and the comma should move to after India.
  • Link to West Indies cricket team on the first usage in the second paragraph.
  • "After having captured 310 wickets.." – Shorten to the much nicer "After capturing 310 wicket.."
  • Add the "As of.." note to the end of the second paragraph for the "..and remains Australia's fourth most successful bowler in the format." statement.
  • "Making his One Day International (ODI) debut.." – Conversely, this would be better as "After making his.."
  • ".. Lee's first one-day five-wicket haul came in the same series.." – Tighten this to clarify it was his first ODI five-wicket haul; he took earlier five-wicket hauls in one-day cricket (such as this match).
    • This article is only about his International cricket five-wicket hauls. Is there a need to mention that in every usage. —Vensatry (Ping me) 15:50, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link to South African national cricket team on the first usage in the third paragraph.
  • "Lee claimed 19 five-wicket hauls in his International career, and Australia had never lost any of the games on such instances." – remove "had".
  • Ref 4 needs a date.
  • As Brett Lee's Cricinfo profile is listed as a reference, you shouldn't include it as an External link.
  • Be consistent over whether you use ESPNCricinfo or ESPNcricinfo, there is a mix of both.
  • Ref 29 is a bit messed up; there seem to be extra brackets and all sorts. Harrias talk 09:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. If you think I'm tough to please, you should try getting User:Sarastro1 to look at the prose! Harrias talk 11:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Lead image caption is somewhat uninformative, could you say where and when?
  • "has taken a number of" why not just say how many?
  • test is usually capitalised when referring to Test cricket.
  • "which Australia eventually won" any real need for "eventually"?
  • Mention somewhere he hasn't got a fifer in T20I.
  • " he never managed to take more than" -> "he never took more than"
  • Most refs are missing Cricinfo" from them (in particular refs 9 through 17).
  • "sinclair"->"Sinclair".
  • Dinesh -> Denesh.
  • Why MS Dhoni when all others have first names?
  • Same for RP Singh.
  • Sorting needs work, so sorting by best number of wickets should sort by fewest runs conceded second. Take a look at the coding in some of the existing FLs on "fifer" lists.

Quick comments

  • The venue column requires consistency, it's a mix of Stadium, City, City, and Stadium.
  • There are a couple of sentences that are a bit odd to read. e.g. "With nine five-wicket hauls, he is third overall in all-time ODI list." where an article before all-time would be nice and so on.
