A typo?
[edit]Considered by Harry Altham, John Arlott, and Desmond Eagar to have been "the country's outstanding player of the 1930s",[1]
- I suspect a typo there, either by The Cricketer or by yourself, and that "country" should have been "county".

- @Jhall1: I did think the same thing when looking at his 1930s stats. Averaging in the 30s, good for the time, but wouldn't rate him as the most outstanding player in the country during the 1930s. That's how it appears in The Cricketer. Not sure if we can swap in county as that would be OR? Or maybe they, from a biased Hampshire perspective, did actually view Arnold in that light?

- I'd have thought that Altham and Arlott, if not necessarily Eagar, in spite of their Hampshire affiliation would have been more objective than that. They could hardly have rated Arnold as higher than Hammond or Verity, for example. So I suspect a typo. If you want to keep the citation, then maybe adding a footnote saying that we suspect that "country" should have been "county" would be in order? JH (talk page) 15:47, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
