[edit] Playfair Cricket Annual
Is the line about Peter Wynne-Thomas necessary ? Its significance is not obvious and it sort of stands out. Tintin 18:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Looks fine now. Thank you. Tintin 08:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Are you a member of ACS ? Tintin 10:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Certainly am. Since 1982 (frightening!) Nigej 19:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Wisden had included the number of runs scored by WG in all matches, calculated by G Neville Weston, which came to IIRC 99840. Has this been revised too ? Tintin 10:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I presume the latest number is that calculated by J R Webber in his "The Chronicle of W.G", all 1100 pages! He follows the ACS for first-class (ie 54,211). For minor matches he has 44,556 for the 1,066 matches he has traced. However in several seasons he has found references to other numbers (I think these are season totals normally) which give a total of 46,837. So his total runs is either 98,767 or 101,048 depending on which approach you prefer. As usual the situation is a nightmare. He has 97 minor cricket centuries giving 221 in all Nigej 19:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
There is an interesting quote from Hobbs here. Shall I add it ? Tintin 10:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Good idea. Strangely Arlott's 'Jack Hobbs Profile of 'The Master' does seem to mention the tour at all, admittedly only a short biography. Nigej 19:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Just in case you have investigated the cricket sections of Wikipedia a great deal, you should find the works of User:BlackJack interesting. Tintin 09:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
