  • Comment Both sources are simply reporting on a single original source (the scorecard) which bears the name "Page". With such scant information, it is impossible to conclude anything about this player. It is also unclear whether these were 1st Class matches from the sources. (1st class cricket as a term was invented long after these matches) Mayalld (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, the first class or otherwise status has been established retrospectively for every match ever played, but that's not the point here. "Major" matches were the highest level of the game played at that time and as such, it's notable per ATHLETE. --Dweller (talk) 16:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
