Women's cricket

Hi Vensatry, I have just noticed that you have removed the women's information that I added back in March 2017. At the moment, there has not been enough occurrences to justify a separate list for the women's feats which I why I added it to this one. I realise that this is a featured list but surely there is no harm in keeping the women's feats here until a separate list is warranted. As it stands at the moment the information is not in Wikipedia at all. Thoughts? – Ianblair23 (talk) 07:35, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ianblair23: First, it was added without any discussion (the list got promoted in March 2015). Second, men's and women's cricket are not comparable at least in this context. The feats can very well be included under: List of women's Test cricket records, List of women's One Day International cricket records and Women's Twenty20 International#Statistics and records. —Vensatry _(talk) 07:42, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Latham's record

I note that Tom Latham (added today) holds the highest score for someone carrying his bat in tests, but this doesn't reflect in the table when sorted by Runs... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.57.35 (talk) 06:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
