Presenting

Worth adding a section for his commentary/presentation? Currently the colour commentator for Jomboy Media's Ball-in-Play league (mix of cricket and blitzball).

/* West Indies Batting Record */

Can someone check this section? The way it reads Sammy was the new batsman, and arrived at the wicket with 65 needed. Now, if he scored 58, how can the WI lose by more than 10 runs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.211.83.111 (talk) 17:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In April 2007 Darren came to England and played for Crompton Cricket Club who compete in the Central Lancashire League. This is a different competition to the Lancashire League. It was from Crompton CC that he was called up to make his test debut on the 7th June. He was replaced at Crompton by Tino Best.Ravensfield69 (talk) 11:00, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the mistake, it hasbeen corrected. Nev1 (talk) 15:16, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Darren Sammy → Daren Sammy – According to the subject, this is the WP:OFFICIALNAME and is the name that he uses, per his official Twitter page, the ESPNcricinfo player database and CricketArchive. Hack (talk) 08:53, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Cricket West Indies uses "Daren" too. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:39, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support to match all the presented sources. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:49, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Per the nom. Despite large numbers of sources using 'Darren', these are likely to have been used in error. Would also propose the move for the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground → Daren Sammy Cricket Ground Rugbyfan22 (talk) 14:27, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support the cricket ground move too. And any other related pages. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:18, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Another recent source for good measure: [1]. Spike 'em (talk) 15:05, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. WP:NCBIO is the relevant guideline, of which WP:SPNC deals with minor spelling variations "For minor spelling variations (capitalization, diacritics, punctuation and spacing after initials, etc.): when a consistent and unambiguous self-published version exists, it is usually followed". This would seem to qualify. Also, common usage seems to be shifting to use one "r". _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 10:16, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
