Hello; and welcome to the first GA review on a female cricketer- if it's not the first, it's the first I've ever done. I'm not a big fan of the checklist, and I like to read an article in two different sessions before posting a ton of comments, so all I'll post tonight will be anything that just jumps out at me... which may be nothing at all, since I've not read the article yet.

• All images have ALT text, no disambig links, both images licences are good. (And that's as far am I'm getting tonight. I'm falling asleep in my chair.) Courcelles (talk) 08:39, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

• Is her family relationship really important enough to mention in the lead?

• "and took one catch." Is there any wikilink available to explain what a "catch" is in cricket?

• Same issue for "scoring only 24 runs in her first five innings."

• "school CAS cricket competition"? What does that acronym mean?

• "In reply, Healy made a duck..." Even as an someone who has watched cricket, this makes no sense to me. This are really my biggest concern- the article is written for those who already are well familiar with cricket

I've read this article twice, and let me say this is a very nice article. With about fifteen minutes of work, I'll be proud to pass this one. Courcelles (talk) 09:58, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I've done all these except the lead. It's pretty rare for parent/child to both play for the country. Playing professionally is not a big deal, but for the country, only around 15 are in teh squad at any one time.

Got it. One more issue; I've recently learned GA's are supposed to have the Template:Persondata in them. Courcelles (talk) 10:17, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

After another read through, this one passes. Very nice article, and for the record, I agree with the choice of pictures. Courcelles (talk) 20:39, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
