User:Raven4x4x

Apologies for the lack of meaningful contributions recently, but uni has taken up most of my time and Oblivion has taken up the rest. With exams now over I plan to be a lot more active.

Articles I have started

• Bill Ponsford - Australian cricketer
• Stan McCabe - Australian cricketer
• Earth Moving - Album by Mike Oldfield (I don't even really like the album. Whatever)

• List of First-class cricket quadruple centuries, my first non-stub article. The formatting is shamelessly ripped off List of Test cricket triple centuries, but I did all the research and writing.

Cricket biographies I have expanded

• Everton Weekes - West Indian batsman
• Clyde Walcott - West Indian batsman
• Alan Kippax - Australian batsman
• Doug Walters - Australian batsman
• Zaheer Abbas - Pakistani batsman
• Dudley Nourse - South African Batsman

Cricket biographies I would like to expand when/if I get around to it

• Bert Sutcliffe
• Bill Lawry
• Charles Macartney
• Frank Worrell
• Lindsay Hassett

I've also started making graphs of the Test Match performance of various batsmen. An example is Image:Don Bradman Graph.png. If you would like me to make one for a player, please ask on my talk page and I'll be more than happy to see if I can make one. I actually rather enjoy making the graphs, and I've chosen them as 'the thing I do'. I list them here so I don't lose track of who I've uploaded and who I haven't. The list is getting long, so I borrowed the code for this hidden section. I don't understand it, but I do know how to copy it.

A sincere thanks to these users.

My favourite cricket fact is that I share my birthday with Wally Hammond.
