Talk:List of Twenty20 International records

Pathan

One point here - I'm sure Irfan Pathan of India took 3-16(bowling figures) in a match in the International World Twenty20. Could anyone check that? If its true, then his name should be included in the list of best bowling figures in a match. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.165.15.68 (talk) 10:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Listing notation

The bulky "listing notation" doesn't need to be so front and centre... probably not needed in this page at all.

Where exactly does it state that this is a page only for men's records?

Recently Jevansen removed a table that had the women's T20 results and "That table doesn't belong here, this list is only for the men's competition. It would need a seperate entry like List of Women's ODI records". Okay, that might be the case, but where in the article does it ever say these records are strictly limited to men's competition? And if a separate page is required for the women's competition then where is it? 72.27.80.161 (talk) 06:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Tied Matches

No T20Is have a concept of tied matches although the official scorecard entries report it otherwise .Every T20I has been decided by a bowlout or an eliminator to decide the winning team and it is that team which has taken the full points available for a win in the tournament. There should be a way to distinguish between a tie and a win that occured after the tie has occured in the list of records for the team win/loss .Specifically the winning percentage should include wins after a tie.Thoughts ?

Double dagger

Does the double dagger (‡) add any info?

• Like Most career runs, that table has a column you can see T20I Career Span where you can see they are still active, there are a lot of those table which has a career span and makes the double dagger superfluous.
• Then there is Most runs in a calendar year or Most wickets in a calendar year, none of those records are from 2019, so the player might still be active but they can't improve on the record shown, they'll have to start a new records.
• Same goes for Evin Lewis, he is not going to score more sixes in that inning, btw. what's the difference between him and the four others since he is the only one in that list with a dagger?
• For Youngest players, they might still be active but they don't get any younger so I don't know what the dagger is telling?

I think it is valid for career total records, but for any one-off / single season records (except where that season is still in progress) it is not necessary. Spike 'em (talk) 10:17, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

In career total records the column "T20I Career Span" says something like "2007–present" so double dagger looks superfluous. --Moedk (talk) 12:29, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Runs against an opponent

These lists as OR as they require a bunch of statsguru searches, rather than there being a single list anywhere we can use. They also do not include all teams and if they did would soon be very long and are of limited use. Spike 'em (talk) 18:58, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Highest average by position

This is another ORish list. Do any other sites actually show these as a meaningful list (rather than a cobbled together Statsguru query)? Why was 10 innings chosen, and not 10 completed innings, as is more normal. There are not enough players with sufficient innings to make 8-11 meaningful, so I am inclined to remove them. If we restrict to 10 completed (still a ridiculously small number), there would be 6 players to choose from at 8, 1 at 9, 1 at 10, and as it is there are no players who match current criteria at 11.

The main (any position) list at cricinfo starts at 20 innings (including not outs). If we used that as a criteria for the individual positions, we'd have 4 players qualify at 7, 2 at 8, none at 9 or 11 and 1 at 10. Spike 'em (talk) 12:02, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Would anyone else like to comment on this before I remove this table as its criteria are completely OR? Spike 'em (talk) 11:06, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Most matches won as captain

This section does not match the source (and as I type has the wrong total number of matches for Morgan). The main problem, as I have explained elsewhere, is that Cricinfo records matches where the scores finished level after 20 overs as a tie, no matter what happens (if anything) after this. Morgan has captained England to 2 super-over wins, as well as 41 "normal" victories : cricinfo has these as ties, the table currently treats them as wins. Either we need to go with the source, or find a different source that includes super-overs as part of the match result and make the editorial decision to favour that.

And in an attempt to standardise, I've added a link to Howstat, but that differs in total matches captained with Cricinfo by 1 game for Ashgar Afghan. Looking at their match lists it is down to this, where former captain Nawroz Mangal tossed the coin in place of Ashgar. On the scorecard CI list AA as captain, Howstat has Mangal. ICC claim that AA has 42 wins, so they must agree with CI over who was captain. Spike 'em (talk) 17:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
