I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the criteria. The format is similar to List of England Twenty20 International cricketers and List of India Twenty20 International cricketers, both featured lists. ASTRONOMYINERTIA (TALK) 18:37, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Spell out ODI before using it as an abbreviation.
  • "In this match, Kenya w..." why not something like "In reply, Kenya..."?
  • " to Pakistan by 8 wickets" eight.
  • "won his first Twenty20 cap" -> won his first T20I cap (and just link cap).
  • Not keen on the gallery, would prefer those images down the right-hand side, but it's just a preference.
  • Win%, stick to same accuracy.
  • Ref 60 has unspaced hyphens, would be better to be spaced en-dash per WP:DASH.
  • "Player Caps" -> "Player caps".

  • I get some odd sorting results in IE when I sort by 4WI (keep sorting and check out the order of the Cap number).
  • The sorting results are not shown in any particular order only for the entries with the same value. In this case, only 2 players have a non-zero value in the 4wI column. All other players have zeros. It is possible to sort the players with no 4wI by artificially assigning a sort order number to such entries, just like the way we brought up Dilhara Lokuhettige's highest score of 18* ahead of Gihan Rupasinghe's 18, by leaving apart the last digit of the {{sort}} to denote the state: "out" or "not out" (0 for out, 5 for not out). But I guess this might overly complicate the table since some columns, for example 4wI, have dozens of entries at the same state (This problem is common to all columns that deal with numbers). I don't know whether there is a simpler fix for this matter; but I didn't find one yet. I will look into it further. ASTRONOMYINERTIA (TALK) 16:39, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same with batting HS (i.e. the top Cap result goes 2, 37, 2, 27, 2, 41, 2, 32...)

  • need to add (ICC) after the first use of International Cricket Council
  • "Dilshan has made the most appearances for Sri Lanka in T20Is" could add how many matches he has played for some context
  • You have 50 in the table yet no explanation of it in the key
  • Bit odd having 4wi as a column, I thought 5 wicket hauls were more notable?
  • No need for the colours in the columns its already evident what stat applies to which discipline
  • Captains table needs a caption
  • ref 2 needs the date of publication added to it

Comments –
  • Remove "the" from "Mendis took 6 wickets for 16 runs during the Australia's 2011 tour of Sri Lanka".
  • "The" could be added at the start of footnote 1, and I think that would improve the sentence. Or "team" could be removed, either way works.
  • Since none of the references are printed sources of any kind, the publishers shouldn't be italicized. I've seen conflicting views on whether the BBC should be italicized or not, but I'm fairly positive that ESPNcricinfo shouldn't be.
  • Given that all refs but 9 have the publisher linked, you may as well link that one too.

Resolved comments from Harrias
;Comments from Harrias talk
  • You need to remove the rowspan="2" parameter from Cap, Name, First, Last and Mat, given you've added "General" in the row above, contrary to precedent.
  • Do you have references to support those players that have retired? Also, given that in twenty years, a large number of these players will have retired, meaning that the list will be covered in this symbol, it is really necessary?
  • Personally I don't think {{sort dash}} is appropriate for the Bowling average column, as it means that the players without a bowling average sort above the best average of Mendis. I would prefer those players to sort at the end.
  • External links shouldn't include anything already listed as a reference: in this case it replicates Ref #15, so should be removed.

On the whole, pretty good work, mostly minor technical fixes needed. Harrias talk 11:18, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
