I am nominating this for featured list because it's give a clear idea about centuries in the ground. It's follows FL criteria and I think its good enough to be a featured list. The lead section is also reasonable and nicely sourced. Article is sourced with ESPNcricinfo. I have made reasonable contribution to the article as well.

  • Oppose – Hi Price Zero, I feel that list isn't quite up to featured status at this point. The lead needs a bit a work with the opening paragraph using the same sentence format three times. Also a reference to the match report is required for each listing. Please see List of international cricket centuries at the Adelaide Oval, the latest list of this kind to be featured, for what I mean.

Oppose too many issues for me right now:

  • Not sure why the name needs an inline reference right after its first mention.
  • Worth noting where Kandy is.
  • "its first Test in 2010 Sri Lanka against West Indies" grammar fix needed here.
  • Image caption - Match doesn't need to be capitalised, sentence is a fragment so no need for a full stop.
  • "The first One Day International was played in 2011 ICC Cricket World " - "the 2011..."
  • "was played in 2011 Sri Lanka " ditto.
  • "score of the ground" nope, maybe "score made at the ground"?
  • "scored by .. when he scored..." repetitive.
  • " 9 Test centuries " - nine, per MOSNUM.
  • "centuries until 2016" try "As of June 2017, 12 ODI centuries have been scored at the venue..."
  • " The first of these was made by the New Zealander Ross Taylor in 2011 against Pakistan at the inaugural ODI at the venue which was a pool match of 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup" too many run-ons here.
  • "scored the highest ODI score" repetitive.
  • " He bagged five" not encyclopedic.
  • " with 939 runs at an average of 78.25." are you averaging Test and ODI cricket together here?
  • " at the ground scored again by Tillakaratne Dilshan" grammar again, replace "ground scored again" with "was made" or similar.
  • " during inaugural T20I at the venue back in August 2011" grammar and tone, "the" inaugural, and we don't need "back in..." just "in".
  • " venue highlighted as unbeaten 145 runs by Australian Glenn Maxwell against Sri Lanka, when he arranged the match for highest T20I team total of the history." not really even sure where to begin with this sentence, needs overhaul.
  • "With three T20I centuries at the venue, Pallekele Stadium holds the record for the most T20I centuries to score at a single venue." likewise.
  • Suggest you get this copyedited by someone with native English.
  • Tables need to comply with MOS:TABLE i.e. row and col scopes, and captions where possible.
  • Date ranges in the ref titles need en-dash, not hyphens, per WP:DASH.

That's it for a quick runthrough. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:21, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Price Zero these comments have been here a week now, are you going to address them or shall I archive this nomination? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:20, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
