Comments –

• Use ndashes (–) instead of hyphens (-) in dates' ranges.

• Well spotted: bad mistake! Fixed now. Sarastro1 (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

• "He bowled fast-paced off spin." needs a ref.

• The ref was at the end of the next sentence. I've linked them to make it clear. Sarastro1 (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

• You may link Barnsley Chronicle and the Yorkshire Post.

• Latter one done now, but I'd prefer to leave the Barnsley Chronicle as there is no article and I don't see the purpose of a red link for a borderline-notability article. Sarastro1 (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

• "Kilburn's writings on the Yorkshire players of the 1930s and 1940s made them well-known to the public as personalities and he wrote several pieces for the Yorkshire Post which became well-known." comma after personalities

• Done. Sarastro1 (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

• You may link England team and Australia.

• Did the first; the second is not the team, and linking the country would be overlinking. Sarastro1 (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

• Don't you think the Bibliography section needs a ref?

• For a bibliography section, the books serve as their own reference, as I understand it. Sarastro1 (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Overall good work, very well-written. I really enjoyed it. Zia Khan 23:34, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
