Oppose – Sorry, but I'm seeing a bunch of grammatical glitches so far. Having read most but not all of the list, this is what I've found:
- Minor point, but the "also" in "A further two Australian partnership records for the second and the sixth wickets set by Bradman also still stand" is a redundant word (given the presence of "further") and could be removed to tighten the prose.
- Comma needed after Glenn McGrath, I'd imagine.
- Key: The highest wicket partnership link isn't working properly; you might need to check the capitalization.
- Team wins, losses, draws and ties: Add "in" after "resulting" at the start of the second paragraph.
- Remove first "a" from "Australia has a never lost or drawn a match against Bangladesh or Zimbabwe.
- It says here that England have competed in over 1,000 Test matches, while the lead says just under 1,000. Which is it? Also, this should be cited here.
- Ah, my mistake! The lead is correct, it should be under. They have played 983 matches to date. I have corrected this and a ref has also been added. – Ianblair23 (talk) 07:34, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- 1902 photo caption: At the end, shouldn't "narrowest lost" be "narrowest loss"?
- Most centuries: Needs "a" before "score".
- Same for the double century section.
- Best (bowling) figures in a match: "to with finish with match figures of 19/90" needs copy-editing.
- Worst figures in a match: Could use "the" before "second Test of the Ashes series".
- Most dismissals in an innings: Try not to start a sentence with a number, like in "22 wicket-keepers...". In this case, you could just spell out the number.
- Most dismissals in a series: "Brad Haddin holds the Test cricket record for the most dismissal taken by wicket-keeper in a series." Needs "a" before "wicket-keeper", and "dismissal" should be plural.

- Most matches as captain: "holds the record the most matched played as captain in Test cricket with 109." "matched" is a typo, and a word is needed after "record".
- Partnership records: Middle two words of "In sport of cricket" could be removed to improve the sentence.
- Highest partnerships by wicket: The Wicket column of the table isn't sorting properly. You'll need sort templates to prevent the 10th from being sorted with the 1st (a common issue in lists).

- Hi Giants, thank you very much for the review. I have addressed all of your comments. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 00:27, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Giants, I have added and amended some of the prose in the team and batting records sections. If you could please review and let me know if you have any further comments that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 12:52, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Is "for" needed in "holds the record of the most wickets for taken by a fast bowler in Test cricket."? Actually, it sounds like "holds the record for" would be better.
-
- Now I see two "for"s in that sentence. The one after "most wickets" should be taken out. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:14, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
