# Talk:Smokers v Non-Smokers

According to this Cricinfo page, Scotton was not the first man to be out "handled the ball" in first-class cricket. Since an example from 1797 is quoted, when the first was probably depends on when you think first-class cricket started, but a pretty solid example from many years before Scotton is mentioned: this match from June 1857 in which James Grundy was so dismissed.

Is there any reason for this? Doesn't the cited source verify all of the content? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:56, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

All very well done.
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects: 

B. Focused: 
No issues.

Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content: 

B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions: 
Very good. I tweaked one of the captions a little bit.
Overall:
Pass or Fail: 
A comfortable GA for sure. A fine article, an interesting bit of cricketing history and a great little read—very well done indeed. —Cliftonian (talk) 12:12, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Bonus comments, for further improvement beyond GA:
Is it recorded what inspired Walker to choose Smokers and Non-Smokers as the theme for the first game?
Did the team selection in each game actually reflect who did and didn't smoke?
Is it recorded who ultimately got the ball from the second game?
Well done again. —Cliftonian (talk) 12:24, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
