Talk:Len Hutton

message: Hutton's 202 used to be the lowest total to feature a double century, but, this summer the 2nd test of India vs Sri Lanka featured a double century by Virender Sehwag, part of a total of 329 - thus being lower than the 344. --Knucmo2 (talk) 16:54, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huttons 202 

message: I am currently working on expanding this article. As it gets longer (I'm assuming it will get quite big), I eventually plan to remove the list of centuries at the bottom. It could go in a separate article if necessary, but I would save it in my own pages (I did this with Wally Hammond). Are there any objections?--Sarastro1 (talk) 22:26, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is getting to the point it will have to split, like Don Bradman. I would suggest that an article on Len Hutton's England captaincy would be appropriate; it was a major part of his career and important in the history of cricket. We could then expand both articles.

replies: text: Probably, but this article still requires some work and is currently at GAN. I have cut quite a bit already and plan to cut more to make it more manageable, but all the old material could easily be used to make new articles, possibly on his captaincy and on his early life (i.e. pre war). The captaincy one could cover the amateur/professional issue. However, whatever happens in future, this article still must cover all his life. --Sarastro1 (talk) 15:56, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of centuries 

message: You asked me if I could complete the comments that I began during the now-closed Peer Review. The following cover as far as the "100th century" section. 
;Tour to South Africa
*Section title needs amending, as at least half of it is about the 1939 season
:*Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Rather than digress in the text, I added a line about it and left the footnote for the fuller explanation. Better? --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *The source is vague and mentions promotion after training; I've reworded it slightly to say he was recruited as a sergeant to remove the ambiguity. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Either because of unnecessary refs (I suspect a relic from one of my many purging copy-edits!) which are now removed or unnecessary accumulation which are split up. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Did the one with three in a row. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Got them, I think. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done, --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Personally, I'm over-Bradmanned for these series and if there is no direct connection or relevance I think we've heard enough! --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done, though I'm not convinced I've used the most elegant phrasing. --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *I think Brown was more significant than Allen as this was an Ashes tour and Allen's was a winding down, lets play some gentle cricket tour (in theory). But I agree it is not relevant for this article, so cut it.--Sarastro1 (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *I think it was generally conceded that if someone could have stayed in, Hutton could have won the match on his own. But I suspect you are right and I don't think it should go in here. --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *Hmmm. I can't count anymore. Nor can I read, as that is not what the source says. Fixed. --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Thanks! --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some post-PR comments 

message: ;Captain of England
*General point: this section runs to nearly 3000 words, which is quite a lot given the existence of a "main article" on Hutton's captaincy. There may be scope for a more rigorous adoption of summary style.
*Arising from that, possibly some of the individual match details could be shortened, particularly with regard to non-Hutton-related material, e.g. the Watson-Bailey stand.
:*To be honest, I think I've cut this back as far as I can without leaving out important information. I did a little more trimming, but really can't see anything else that I could cut. However, if anyone points out parts which should go, I'll be happy to cut more. I just can't see it myself. --Sarastro1 (talk) 17:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *All done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 17:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

text: *I wouldn't be crazy about a main section called retirement, so I've left this for now but will be happy to move it if it is a big issue. --Sarastro1 (talk) 17:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

text: No problem, your comments have been a great help. --Sarastro1 (talk) 17:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
