Congrats on the successful FLC the other week! But reading through, one passage has me confused:
"As of March 2022, Lyon has taken ten wickets in a match three times in Tests, one of 20 players to do so and tied twenty-ninth highest in all cricketing nations."
How can he be tied 29th when there are meant to be only 20 players who've achieved it? Am I misunderstanding, or was this meant to read "one of 10 Australians," or perhaps "one of 48 ever?" Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 03:29, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see! Yeah, that's a confusing one for me -- we wouldn't say "no player has taken 700 wickets in Test matches," just because Warne & Murali have taken more than 700. So here, 48 guys have taken it three times, just 28 of them have done so on a fourth (or more) occasion as well.
Personally, I'd either change 20 to 48 (quickest and easiest), or else rephrase to, "As of March 2022, Lyon is one of 48 players to take ten wickets in a match three or more times in Tests ..." If you really did want to keep the 20 who've done it three times, could perhaps flip the order, giving something like, "As of March 2022, Lyon is tied for twenty-ninth most ten-wicket hauls, one of 20 players to have done so exactly three times"?
