~~Comment~~ Support – "Johnson and Valentine are the only West Indian to take ten in a match wickets on debut". The grammar is faulty here; it should be "Johnson and Valentine are the only West Indians to take ten wickets in a match on debut". Giants2008 (Talk) 21:18, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:26, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment my only quibble is this: "The players have taken five-wicket hauls at three different venues, three outside the West Indies" - this makes it sound like the fifers were taken at three different venues, of which three venues were outside the Windies, which isn't true of course. I would suggest reworking the whole sentence to: "The players have taken five-wicket hauls at three different venues, two in the West Indies and one overseas. The most common venue for a West Indies player to achieve the feat is Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, where it has occurred five times. All three hauls which occurred overseas took place at Old Trafford in Manchester, England." -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:32, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: done as you suggested! Thanks for the comment. Khadar Khani (talk) 06:57, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I am happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:18, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
