Am familiar with this part but a confusion - "In those days, it was the leading bowler on each side who chose the place where wickets would be pitched". Bowler of which side - home or visitors ? ] 08:17, 1 August 2009 (UTC) |

== Somerset County Cricket Club == |

Jack, I don't usually disagree with your edits, but changing the "Famous Players" section of this article to "International Players" changes both the tone and the substance. Surely the aim of this section is not to be just another mechanistic list of international cricketers, but a list of those whose deeds were significant to Somerset, which is the subject of the article as a whole. And one aim might be to encourage readers to look further at other articles, so a degree of colour in descriptions is surely admissible. To call Lionel Palairet "England Test player" is baldly correct, but as a Test batsman Palairet was a failure, and his renown surely rests more (or as much) on his reputation as a stylist of the golden age (and as a batsman curiously omitted from Test teams for most of his career). Omitting Gimblett entirely seems harsh on any criteria, as he played Tests (and was picked for several others and then pulled out of them), and in this context we ought to say what McCool's contribution to Somerset cricket was rather more than a somewhat spurious reference to 1948, when he didn't play any Tests anyway. Roebuck, the latest addition by someone to this list, is surely more important to Somerset than Tom Richardson was. WINP, I reckon: we can surely afford to have some colour in here, and not only international cricketers contribute at county level. ] (]) 08:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC) |

Hi. :) Unfortunately, this one was deleted under the speedy deletion criteria and is not eligible for G4. If the contributor doesn't follow through on the OTRS correspondence, it will be deleted again as a copyvio. If he does, it will probably find its way back to AfD where it can be judged on its merits. --] <sup>]</sup> 20:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC) |

:Thanks. :) ] is the system that handles e-mails to the Wikimedia Foundation. This one was originally nominated for AfD, but speedily deleted as a copyright violation. We got an e-mail indicating that it isn't a copyright violation, but hosted with permission. The e-mail wasn't quite good enough to confirm that legally, though. The article has been restored and blanked until we can clear that up. If the contributor clears it up, then the speedy deletion criterion will no longer apply, so it can't be redeleted as a copyvio. But the AfD can proceed. It's a lot of hoops to jump through for what seems like inappropriate material, but there you have it. --] <sup>]</sup> 20:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC) |

I hope that you enjoy both ''Arlott on Cricket'' and your holiday. I agree that TMS is not what it was. It's become too jokey for my taste, with Jonathan Agnew and Phil Tufnell being the worst offenders. Of course one wanta a leavening of hunour, but not at the expense of describing what's going on on the field. JH (]) 09:02, 5 September 2009 (UTC) |

::Glad to hear that you had a good holiday, and that you've been enjoying the book. Yes, what I wrote about Alresford was all taken from that book. He's also very good on Hambledon, of course, as you'd expect from a Hampshire man. Cheers. JH (]) 16:34, 26 September 2009 (UTC) |

What makes you so convinced that the bit about WG playing foorball was rubbish? It seemed to me plausible that he might have done as a young man, though I added a "citation needed" tag as it clearly needed some evidence in support. JH (]) 20:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC) |

:Just dide a Google search on ''Grace Wanderers football'' and it turned up a relevant hit on http://books.google.co.uk/ in a book entitled ''The Wanderers F.C.: five time F.A. Cup winners'' by Rob Cavallini. Google Books shows the whole of the relevant page of the book, and it seems completely above board, so I'll be restoring it to the article, complete with citation. (A better Google search turned out to be ''Grace Wanderers Alcock'', when the relevant Google Books entry is the first hit.) JH (]) 20:12, 10 September 2009 (UTC) |

|
|
|
|
(: Judging from the text from Cavallini's book available on Google Books, it seems that WG probably got involved with the Wanderers through his friendship with CW Alcock, who was a leading light of the club. He is mentioned as scoring against Clapham Rovers in 1871-2. I managed to find other passing references to his football and . In the latter case he plays agaubst Sheffield at Bramall Lane in 1872-3.

:Plenty. His best performances in 1946 and the significance of his efforts to Yorkshire's title for a start. His career in minor counties. His war record. His career after he finished playing as he was still involved in the game. His personal and family life. His style and technique as a player, especially as a bowler. All of that if suitably referenced could easily move the article up to B-class. ----<b>] | <sup><i>]</i></sup></b> 16:42, 16 October 2009 (UTC) |

Hi Jack. I saw your "delist" comment at the ]. I agree there's a lot to do, but you specifically mentioned problems with whitespace. I've tried the page in both Safari and Firefox and have no problems. Are you referring to the space between the TOC, the picture of the World Cup, and the Notation section? If so then that shouldn't be a major issue, I'll collapse the TOC down to level 1 only and when I've expanded the lead, we should have no major problems. Anyway, if you're having problems with other images (you said they were aligned incorrectly?), could you help me out with exactly what you're seeing? Cheers. ] (]) 11:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC) |

|

|
|
|
So dickhead what ] do you have for that remark? None whatsoever, absolutely none. Looking at the comments you leave on others User Talk pages and on other pages around this site it is clear you are one arrogant son of a bitch, completely stuck up your own arse and full of your own self importance. |

|
“''Very surprised to see this here and I would disagree strongly with the view that this page is "is the most comprehensive page on an English County Championship team". Nowhere near: see Yorkshire, for example''” |

|
What person lists an article written mostly by themselves? Right, someone of the above mentioned description - an arrogant cock with a seemingly ] complex. |
|

|

It is funny seeing the way you comment other people, talking down to them like you being an admin is of such importance: You the fucking man... not! As if anyone gives a flying fuck. Epic fail Jack, epic fucking fail. I'm suprised nobody has told you to read ]. |
