Problems with time-line and descriptors.

"Charles Bannerman and Nat Thomson were the first ever international batting partnership".

No, an international match between Canada and the USA took place in 1844. Needs rethinking and rewording.

"He did not represent Australia again, officially because of ill-health, but it was suggested that he could not cope with celebrity status, and that gambling debts and alcohol left him impoverished."

This is also problematic as Australia as a Test Match team was not recognised until 1903, long after his retirement. 2A02:C7F:764B:1C00:746F:2EC6:1D7C:2418 (talk) 10:20, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
