"Unusually, he batted right-handed but bowled left-arm". This is by no means an unusual combination, and neither is the converse (bowled right, batted left). Instances are far too numerous to cite. Captain Pedant 12:39, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, dropped that word. Tintin 12:56, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
That was quick!! :D

A quick look through some England left-arm spinners since Rhodes throws up Hedley Verity, Tony Lock, Derek Underwood, Phil Edmonds, Nick Cook, Richard Illingworth and Phil Tufnell as right-hand batsmen and only Johnny Wardle and Monty Panesar as left-handers. I may have missed some. Captain Pedant 08:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy Edit Needed?

Could be wrong here, and if so I apologise, but the whole narrative reads like it's from a biography... 164.36.38.240 11:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

http://tripatlas.com/Wilfred_Rhodes - this site matches this page word for word - who's copying who? 164.36.38.240 (talk) 12:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Apparently, tripatlas has copied its content direct from Wikipedia and has acknowledged the fact on its page. The Wikipedia article needs citations per WP:CITE. --Jim Hardie (talk) 14:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
