[edit] Cricinfo attribution

This page is more or less lifted from www.cricinfo.com; I think that site should be given as the source until someone can rewrite the page. Onocrotalus 15:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I disagree that it's lifted from Cricinfo. However, the link to Cricinfo should certainly be listed as a Reference not an External link, so I've changed the section heading. Stephen Turner (Talk) 21:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Unspecified reasons'

Duncharris: if there are 'numerous sources' then cite them. Repeatedly introducing unsourced negative information into biographies of living people amounts to vandalism. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 12:01, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trescothick's Depresssion

There are plenty of reliable sources which confirm that Trescothick has been suffering from depression indeed he has admited this himself: [1]. It is important to state this both for accuracy and also to show that there is no need for obfuscation on the nature of the man's mental illness - any more than there would be if we were writing about a physical rather than a mental ailment.

[edit] Structure

This page needs some major reorganising, it is unstructured, suggest copy the Paul Collingwood article ROxBo 14:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I did that off my own 'bat'!, have now read your comment, seems we agree entirely. Having seen the good work done on Paul Collingwood, I took that as a sensible structure for this article. I've reorganised the material, removed duplicate information, cited some more things, albeit mostly from cricinfo, and generally given the article an overhaul.

It should be possible to get a decent article out of this! MDCollins (talk) 14:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
