[edit] Review

Have hardly done any but noticed this : O'Neill toured England in 1961, scoring 1981 runs at 60.03, narrowly missing becoming only the fourth player after Don Bradman, Neil Harvey and Bill Lawry to make 2000 runs in an Ashes tour. - Are you talking only about those who played after the second world war. There are many otherwise. Tintin 07:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I forgot to put that qualifier in there. Thanks Tintin. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA review comments

• " Early in his career, O'Neill was one of the foremost batsmen in the Australian team, scoring three Test centuries and topping the run scoring aggregates on a 1959-60 tour of the Indian subcontinent which helped Australia win its last Test and series on Pakistani soil for 39 years, as well as another series in India." - needs copyedit. too much data into one sentence
• 25. his performances" - capitalize "his"
• "O'Neill was recalled made 63 not out " - correct to O'Neill was recalled AND made 63 not out
• "AT thte time" - correct. on a lighter note, you require some strong coffee!
• "These performances lead O'Reilly to compare him to Bradman.[1]" - the sentence make no sense in the current location. did his 1000 runs season lead to comparison with bradman, if so - move the sentence.

other than these minor things, i find nothing unacceptable for a GA level article and hence the promo. --Kalyan 21:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Obits

To how many obituaries does this article need to link? I think this is now a little bit of overkill. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 22:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
