Nice little list. Based partly on List of Hong Kong ODI cricketers. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 06:47, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments from ChrisTheDude
    • "The Kenyans won the game the game by 73 runs" - bit of a stutter there :-)
      Fixed
    • Given that the lead mentions that ODIs have a limited number of overs, probably worth wikilinking "overs"
      Wikilinked
    • "Kenya has since qualified" - singular here, plural everywhere else?
      Fixed
    • "The Kenyan team has played 154 ODI games" - jumps back to singular
      Fixed
    • "In those 154 games, 50 individual players have represented Kenya" - don't think this is needed, the first paragraph already said there are 50 players on the list
      Removed
    • "Last updated 30 January September 2014" - eh?
      Corrected
    • "those players are initially listed alphabetically at the time of debut" - I don't think the last five words are needed.....?
      Removed
    • Could you combine the three notes into one, since they all say exactly the same thing just about different players?
      Combined
  • Think that's it..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:05, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    @ChrisTheDude: Thanks for the review, I have implemented all of your suggestions. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:56, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - can't see any outstanding issues........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:01, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your review and support ChrisTheDude. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 05:20, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • You say "Kenya gained ODI status in its own right following a strong performance in the 1996 Cricket World Cup, ..." then "The team's first ODI came against India in the 1996 Cricket World Cup..." these aren't compatible, unless the ODIs they played in the 1996 World Cup were played without Kenya gaining ODI status.
    Not done. This page makes it clear they were awarded full status after the world cup, "As a result of these efforts, it was granted ODI status." Kenya national cricket team#ODI status also backs that up, saying "Following their World Cup performance, Kenya were given full ODI status by the ICC"
    Ok, so to clarify, those first few ODIs were played with Kenya not having full ODI status? The Rambling Man (talk) 08:05, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, but they are stilled considered full ODIs by the ICC, I assume due to being in a World Cup. — Yellow Dingo (talk) 08:14, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It just struck me as odd that they played a number of ODIs before being awarded full ODI status. That's what the prose says, and as accurate as it may be, it would still confuse a non-expert... The Rambling Man (talk) 09:04, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    @The Rambling Man: I have clarified it the article with a bit of prose and a note. — Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:17, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rageb Aga appears to be called Ragheb Aga, but perhaps you are sticking with Cricinfo's variant?
    Fixed
  • Rajab Ali's BBI is "11"... not sure what that means.
    Fixed
  • {{dagger}} and {{double dagger}} have an alt text flag that should be used for WP:ACCESS purposes.
    {{dagger}} and {{double dagger}} say alt text is added automatically. Well thats what I think those pages mean, I'm not 100% sure. Is there something that needs to be done?
    You can pipe it with "alt=Wicket keeper" in each case, for instance. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:09, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, fixed

That's all I can find. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:43, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Vensatry
  • "A One Day International (ODI) is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status ..." - 'international' might be redundant here.
    Removed
  • It's worth mentioning the number of overs allotted for ODIs to make things clear for non-specialists.
    Added
  • As of September 2016 -> November 2016
    Done
  • 1996 Cricket World Cup -> 1996 World Cup
    Done
  • 'the West Indies' is piped to the football team. Also why pipe 'the'?
    Fixed
  • "The Kenyan team have played 154 ODI games with the most recent coming in 2014" - As of needed here.
    Added
    I was wrong here. "As of ..." is redundant here. —Vensatry (talk) 14:25, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • HS column doesn't sort right.
    Fixed
  • On what basis does '–' sort in the Avg (batting & bowling) columns?
    No particular basis, should they?
  • Publisher missing in ref #2.
    Added
  • Add page nos. for PDF refs.
    Added
  • Why link both occurrences of publishers for International Cricket Council, but only the first instance of ESPNCricinfo? (talking about refs.)
    Removed

  • Spot-checks – I looked at references 20, 31, and 46 and all of the statistics they supported checked out. As the list has sufficient support, I'll be promoting this now that the source review has been completed. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
