Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Frank Worrell — The entry states he was 'involved in two 500-run partnerships, a feat first achieved by Don Bradman.' This is incorrect; Don Bradman never achieved a 500-run partnership in Test cricket, and the first such partnership in first-class cricket was by Worrell and

George Headley — Headley scored 176 in his second innings on Test debut, but he was not the first West Indian to score a century on Test debut; that distinction belongs to Clifford Roach, who scored 122 on his debut in 1928.

Balbir Singh Sr. — The entry states Balbir Singh Sr. was born on 10 October 1924, but the widely accepted date is 10 October 1923.

Balbir Singh Sr. — The entry states he scored the first two goals in the 1948 Olympic final against Great Britain, but he actually scored the first goal (the second goal was scored by Harminder Singh).

Brian Lara — The entry states Lara captained the West Indies from 1998 to 1999, then again from 2001 to 2002, and was reappointed for a third stint in 2003, which ended in 2004. In fact, he also captained briefly in 2006-2007, so the description 'ended in 2004' is incomple

Brian Lara — The DID YOU KNOW section claims Jasprit Bumrah overtook Lara's record for most runs in a single Test over, but Bumrah only equalled the record (28 runs), not broken it.

Shane Warne — The entry states Warne took 'the last three wickets' in his breakthrough performance on 22 August 1992, but the correct fact is that he took 3/0 in 3.2 overs in the second innings against Sri Lanka in Colombo, not simply 'the last three wickets'.
