Craig Kieswetter (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator(s): Harrias talk 09:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Kieswetter was one of those England cricketers who bounced in and out of the team. He had a good run in one-day cricket early in his career, and was man of the match in the final when England won the World Twenty20, the first one-day trophy won by the team. He later lost his England place to one of his Somerset team-mates. At domestic level, he was one of Somerset's star players until he was struck in the eye by the ball, ending his career prematurely.

This article underwent a GA review by Sturmvogel 66, who helped to reduce the amount of jargon used, or at least reminded me to explain it or wikilink it. Relentlessly very kindly copy-edited the article, both improving the quality of the prose, and identifying a number of areas where the referencing fell short. Crisco 1492 took a quick look at the images. Harrias talk 09:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC) Comments from Dweller[reply]

  • Significant omission: description of his batting style and keeping abilities, and his role (opener, etc)
  • Cricket helmet says "grill". This article uses "grille". Which?
  • What's he doing now?
  • What's his vision like now?
  • If he was 18 when he went to Millfield, was he 2 years older than all the other kids?
  • No explanation that I could see about how he managed to qualify for England
  • Family? Interests?

More to come, perhaps --Dweller (talk) 15:39, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
