[edit] Out of date
Just making a note that this needs to be updated. Stephen Turner 09:33, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well done. Now it's time to list it on FLC:) jguk 18:23, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Balls or overs?
I have a strong preference for overs rather than balls bowled. I also don't think the number of maidens is all that interesting, and I think we could lose that column. But I haven't done either of these things yet, because all the national ODI lists are in the same format. Any comments? Stephen Turner 19:05, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- I think we can use balls for Sri Lanka, this list, the ACC list, Zimbabwe and a few others. The problem is that some Aussie matches were played with 8-ball overs, so if we convert them they are going to be inconsistent. Sam Vimes 19:07, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

- I thought that might be the answer. I still prefer overs where the team has never played 8-ball overs, but I can see the virtue of consistency too. Still, if we use balls, I definitely prefer to drop maidens. Balls and maidens is weird. Stephen Turner 19:25, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

- In the absence of any objections, I removed the maidens. Stephen Turner 10:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Better reference?
Oh, one more thing. Is there a better reference listing these players? Because the Howstat page referenced at the moment doesn't actually work for non-country teams (although maybe they'll fix it in the future). I used Cricinfo to generate the stats, but not from a single list. I couldn't find a particularly good list at cricketarchive.com either. Stephen Turner 19:23, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- I linked to a suitable search on Cricinfo StatsGuru. Stephen Turner 10:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
