Encylopaedia "Style" and sporting jargon

edit

In common with many cricket-related pages in wikipedia, this article is written as if by a newspaper reporter. It's not necessarily wrong but there is a lot that is subjective comment rather than actual fact. Whether McCosker was a "plucky opener" or Bob Willis had an "ungainly style" are both matters of opinion. "Grabbing" a wicket is also rather odd. Will people get upset if I tidy it up a bit? I shall not alter any factual statements (unless I find and can show them to be incorrect). Plingsby (talk) 14:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
