Talk:List of Test cricket triple centuries

message: Nice work. A few suggestions. Sorry, I haven't got time to tweak it myself at the moment.
# Lose the vertical line between the flags and country names.
# Lose the second column of flags (opposition flags).
# The innings column could convey more information if it said the innings of the match (1st ... 4th)  as opposed to the innings of the team.
# It doesn't seem as interesting to me which Test of a series it was in, so you could lose another column there. You'd need somewhere else to link to the scorecards, but maybe they could move into the descriptive text below.
# Some of the ground names link to grounds and some link to cities.

message: To be pedantic, Lara's 400* isn't actually a triple hundred. Of course it can't be in a list of its own. But it should be mentioned that it isn't really a triple hundred, but a quadruple. DaGizza Chat 04:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, a batsman's centuries are usually excluded from their tally of fifties (despite a score of 100 or more also being a score of 50 or more) but it is unusual to compile or present statistics for 150s, 200s, etc.  But in any event, the first sentence of the lead section makes it clear what we are talking about:  "This is a list of Test cricket triple centuries; that is, a list of the batsmen who have scored 300 runs or more in a single innings in Test cricket."  -- ALoan (Talk) 10:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  400 is not a triple! 

message: I suggest the terminology used throughout the Notes is slightly unusual and not clear. What does "batting second" mean exactly? There are two openers and when one of them is out Number 3 comes in. I'm especially worried about Note 4, "Batting second, coming in to bat at 14 for two..." which is surely a non-sequitur. If you come in at 14 for two then you are Number 4 in the order. I would rather see batsmen described as openers or coming in at number 3, 4, 5, etc.

replies: text: Batting first means that in the first innings, that players team batted while the other team fielded. Batting second means that in the first innings, that players team fielded while the other team batted. Sorry if thats confusing but I cant explain it any other way.

message: My concerns over the list's current suitability for featured status:
*The maintenance tag needs to be addressed.  I had a quick look at Note 1, for instance, whose reference did not completely cite all the information in the note itself (e.g. I didn't see where it referred to Lara's 106th test).  In general each of those Test notes needs to have every fact cited.
*"2nd-6th December 2009" avoid nd and th here, and use en-dash for separator.
*Image caption seems almost verbatim repeat of the final para of the lead.  Perhaps just focus on Bradman's achievements here?
*The table data:
** should be used for the cricketer's name as right now it sorts by first name.
***Done: Although haven't put it in for the Pakistani players; never too sure on this? Harrias talk 18:05, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding sourcing, there is a book on Test triple centuries which isn't bad. I've used it before and I can probably get hold of it again, or provide scans of the relevant bits to anyone who wants to fix this up as I'm rubbish at tables. --Sarastro1 (talk) 16:05, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  "At risk" comments 

message: ...is messed up! I mean the notes are numbered by ranks of scores, but in the table the scores are listed by chronology. Wouldn't it be better to match the numbering in both places? TIA  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.193.41 (talk) 05:09, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  The cross-referencing... 

message: According to the Sydney Morning Herald (http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/live-cricket-scores-and-commentary-20091124-jfji.html), Australia declared on 639/4 with Clarke on 329 n.o., not 334 as shown here. Matt Adore (talk) 03:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarke's score 

message: The wording under the picture of Donald Bradman - says that Karun Nair has scored 300 or more runs on more than one occasion (in Test Cricket). I think this may be incorrect as he has just scored his first tripe century.
Australian Donald Bradman is one of only five players in Test cricket to have scored 300 or more runs in a single innings on more than one occasion. The others are Brian Lara and Chris Gayle of the West Indies, Virender Sehwag and Karun Nair of India.
