[edit] Suggestions

Nice work. A few suggestions. Sorry, I haven't got time to tweak it myself at the moment.

1. Lose the vertical line between the flags and country names.
2. Lose the second column of flags (opposition flags).
3. The innings column could convey more information if it said the innings of the match (1st ... 4th) as opposed to the innings of the team.
4. It doesn't seem as interesting to me which Test of a series it was in, so you could lose another column there. You'd need somewhere else to link to the scorecards, but maybe they could move into the descriptive text below.
5. Some of the ground names link to grounds and some link to cities.

[edit] 400 is not a triple!

To be pedantic, Lara's 400* isn't actually a triple hundred. Of course it can't be in a list of its own. But it should be mentioned that it isn't really a triple hundred, but a quadruple. DaGizza ^Chat 04:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• I don't think so. I think a 400 is also a triple century. Just as anybody who has scored two-hundred and something has also scored a century... Cribananda 04:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, a batsman's centuries are usually excluded from their tally of fifties (despite a score of 100 or more also being a score of 50 or more) but it is unusual to compile or present statistics for 150s, 200s, etc. But in any event, the first sentence of the lead section makes it clear what we are talking about: "This is a list of Test cricket triple centuries; that is, a list of the batsmen who have scored 300 runs or more in a single innings in Test cricket." -- ALoan (Talk) 10:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
