I've listed this article for peer review because I intend to take this to GAN. This is the first time I'm working with this kind of article. Suggestions are welcome.

Quick comment – You may proceed in this way, I think. Zia Khan 13:20, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the hint. But this one is way too old, promoted six years back. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 16:18, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it as VK. Nobody uses that expansion.

I guess you will soon expand it further Tintin

Comments from Sarastro I've done some copy-editing to the lead to tidy it up slightly. But it's hard to comment on this at the moment as it looks very unfinished. The lead should summarise the article, but there is not really an article to summarise. I think more is needed in the lead on the Test series to give it a little narrative (it was a brilliant series, as I remember), but it is a decent start. However, much more is needed to reach GA. If the article is about the SA tour, why are the ODI series results not included? What about a list of SA players at the very least. What about a brief report on each match, not just a scorecard. For a recent GA to compare, what about this one? Or for a similarly structured article (i.e. this is about a season, not a tour, but the structure could be used) this is a FA. I think these are the lines you should be looking to pursue to reach GA. Sarastro1 (talk) 14:27, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've included the one-off ODI that was played between the two teams. Another concern is that, Should I include the Titan cup? —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 03:37, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – The biggest improvement that can be made at this point is to add prose on the matches. Wihtout that there isn't much to review outside the lead, as Sarastro says. Giants2008 (Talk) 03:03, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
