• Somehow I feel that the "records" section is a bit of fan-cruft-indulgence. ßlηguγeη | Have your say!!! 07:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Even though it is just stats, there is a hint of POV. It would also be a hard section to update. I reckon the first part should stay where as the bottom two, the stuff about his average and strike rate should go, because of the constant need to update and the fact that it is not really a record.

The first part should stay (wrt best score by wkeeper and 2nd innings score), but the stuff about hitting lots of fours and sixes would seem to emphasize the more flamboyant/entertaining side of him, which sticks out like a sore thumb when his effectiveness rather than his style should be emphasized.ßlηguγɛη | Have your say!!! 07:33, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

It strikes me that most of the stuff is very ephemeral and will be in constant need of checking. Not the best way to go about building a good article. --LiamE 01:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

The records bit is a bit pointless I agree, but I think the comments about his entertaining style should remain because they hardly represent anything subjective, and paint a better picture about the player's character. After all, if a player is stated to be a bit of a superstar, it's within reason to explain why.
