Talk:Wisden Cricketers of the Year

message: Exactly when were the Wisden Cricketers for the year 2007 announced? The Cricket World cup is still in progress right now. If anyone knows the answer to my question, please reply.

replies: text: Yep. I wasn't relying on an announcement, but on my copy of the 2007 Wisden, which arrived on Saturday. (I think Amazon slightly jumped the gun, as I don't think it's been formally published quite yet.) If the 2007 selection needs an individual citation, then presumably the same applies for all the earlier years as well! JH (talk page) 08:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: One of the greatest cricketers of all time has not made the Wisden list even once. What a crock!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.229.198.97 (talk) 22:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Um... except when he did in 1997. With a couple of exceptions long ago, you can't win the award more than once anyway. Loganberry (Talk) 23:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I've had to include some players under Welsh flags. I think they're defensible. Generally, players are given the flag of the country they played for (thus Hick + Greig=England) but non internationals are more tricky; I've given them their country of birth. --Dweller (talk) 10:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have made a number of other judgement calls. All have been explained in the notes. In cases of doubt, I've so far managed to get clarity from the country relevant to the player's exploits in the season for which he was recognised. Happy for anyone to dispute. --Dweller (talk) 10:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I think a caveat statement is in order, something like "Test cricketers nationality reflect the team they played for while non-internationals birth nationality is shown..."... The Rambling Man (talk) 10:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup. + "Where nationality is questionable or changed during the course of a player's career, it has been derived from teams represented during / preceding the season for which the award was made" ? --Dweller (talk) 11:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Not sure about the fair use of that Wisden dust jacket, but anyway, surely the most appropriate image possible is :Image:John Wisden.jpg, as both a winner and the founder of Wisden? --Dweller (talk) 11:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

message: As mentioned above, it is correct that the First World War "prevented any first-class cricket being played in England". However, it's not strictly true to say that the Second World War "caused the same issue", since there was a little first-class cricket in 1945. The first match was England v Australian Services at Lord's, starting on 19th May: after VE day, but before the war as a whole was over. Pedantic, I know! Loganberry (Talk) 15:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I did wonder whether to change it, but thought it would get a bit fiddly. It depends a bit what precisely "the same issue" refers to. I think it's reasonable to take it as meaning a shortage of worthy candidates for the honour of CoY. JH (talk page) 17:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possibly slightly misleading text? 

message: At the risk of getting a response of WP:SOFIXIT, I would humbly suggest that Claire Taylor's naming as one of the Wisden Cricketers' of the Year is worth a mention in the supporting prose on this list. -- Mattinbgn\talk 01:27, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've put in a mention. JH (talk page) 08:09, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Nicely done. I'm thinking of making the fact that you can only win once slightly more visible. --Dweller (talk) 11:58, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
