• ... that cricketer Lionel Collins scored six centuries in ten days in a feat described as "quite without parallel in the history of the game"? "In India, in February 1904, Mr. Lionel P. Collins, the Old Marlburian, three times made two separate hundreds in a match within a space of ten days, scoring quite without parallel in the history of the game. He made his runs whilst on tour with the Gurkha Brigade"

• Expanded from a single line draft and nominated in good time. Now substantial and well written, with adequate sourcing. The hook grabbed my attention (even though I hate cricket) and is confirmed by the citation. Therefore I would say good to go. Sionk (talk) 21:08, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
