message: Do the references really need to specify that the language=English? We're not likely to find any in Afrikaans, and this is the English WP?–MDCollins (talk) 02:27, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's necessary. Unless specified, people assume it's in English. Much in the same way that you don't specify a webpage is in http format, it's just expected. Nev1 (talk) 02:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I am having real trouble finding anything about the Newlands walk-off in around 1971 other than a vague throwaway mention. I know RG & PM Pollock were involved because I have a picture but I know very little else about the incident other than the venue and that only the one ball was bowled in the match. I don't know the date, what the teams were, who else was involved, what were the consequences etc. Can anyone help? -- Mattinbgn\talk 10:44, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have found this rather good source (discusses motivation as well) but doesn't specify Pollock as one of the players involved. -- Mattinbgn\talk 11:05, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Possibly, if I had even one Wisden in my possession! (I haven't been game to start collecting them—being scared where I would end up) Hopefully, someone with a copy will read this and be able to assist. -- Mattinbgn\talk 11:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Any suggestions for wikilinking "force"? I'm not entirely sure what he means by "force"... is it a firm kind of straight batted defensive shot that goes for runs? Played off front foot or back, or both? --Dweller (talk) 17:00, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think one normally hears of a "force off the back foot". It's much like a back defensive stroke, played with a straight bat, but hit with more force(!) with the intention of scoring runs. JH (talk page) 17:55, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
