- Nominator(s): Harrias talk 12:07, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is modelled from PCA Player of the Year, which looks like it will be an FL soon. The most noticeable difference is that this list includes international appearances of the award winners in the list. This is a statistic often mentioned alongside this prize, and reflects amongst others, the presentation given in Wisden, so I think the inclusion of the appearances is justified, though it does mean I will have to put more work in to keep the list up to date! As I mentioned, I have an FLC open at the moment, but it has received significant support and has no outstanding concerns. As always, all critique will be welcomed.

Comments
@Seattle: Thanks for your comments. Some stupid misses from me, and some interesting MOS points that I'd seen alluded to without ever finding the actual guideline, thanks! Harrias talk 10:44, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply] |
- Comments from ChrisTheDude
- In the key, to the left of the yellow box, I can see some small text that says "see tfm" - is that meant to be there?
- It's because the template is nominated for a merge at the moment. Don't think there is anything I can do about it until that's done, one way or the other. Harrias talk 16:49, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The rows for current players look a little odd with all the cells yellow except for the player's name. I realise this is something to do with row scopes, but is it possible to use the colour in any other way, such that we don't wind up with one odd non-coloured cell on an otherwise all coloured row? Just a thought
- @ChrisTheDude: Based on Seattle's note above as well, I've tweaked this, how do you find it now? Harrias talk 09:43, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from Miyagawa
- Before I give the full run-down, what is the bracketed information in the international appearances columns (this is just my lack of cricket knowledge I'm afraid)? I ask, because right now the sorting on those columns are making anything with a bracket sort lower than those without - so for instance when sorting by Tests, Ian Bell is above Geoff Boycott. Depending on what those brackets signify, this may need need to have some sort templates inserted to make it appear the other way around. Miyagawa (talk) 17:02, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Weird, for me the sort gives no preference to either, so whichever was listed first before is listed first after. To be honest, it makes little difference; as noted in the key, that denotes the number of times the player captained England - so the 4 times Boycott did so is contained within his 108 appearances. So they both made 108 appearances, with neither necessarily deserving to be forced to sort higher in my opinion. Harrias talk 18:06, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, I see. Just from personal preference I would sort them so that where there are equal numbers, the bracketed ones appear higher. There should only be a couple of instances of that (easiest way to do it is to use the sort template have add a .1 to the ones with brackets so that they get sorted as 141.1 instead of 141, for example). Otherwise it just looks odd from a presentation standpoint. Miyagawa (talk) 10:19, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Miyagawa: How's that? Harrias talk 10:26, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, that's better. The only other comment I would have leads out of this - it might be a good idea to explain what the brackets are in the key. Miyagawa (talk) 12:47, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Miyagawa: The key already states Number in parentheses indicates number of international appearances as captain. Harrias talk 13:37, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, missed that! In that case, I Support promotion. Miyagawa (talk) 16:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
