1. Two out of the three websites that WikiProject Cricket uses (Cricinfo, Cricketarchive, Howstat) as the main cricket resources, use the name Bishan instead of Bishen.
2. On Google 9740 pages found for Bishan Singh Bedi 971 pages found for Bishen Singh Bedi
3. Bishan is the proper transliteration of the name in Hindi (and also other Indian languages).

If you oppose this move, please provide a detailed explaination of why you do. Of course, Bishen Singh Bedi will become a redirect. Thanks DaGizza ^{Chat (c)} 05:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Support I've always thought it was Bishen, but I'm perfectly happy to have common usage trump me Sam Vimes 10:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Actually, if you give the name as a single string to google "Bishan Singh Bedi" gets 671, "Bishan Bedi" 509, "Bishen Singh Bedi" 766 and "Bishen Bedi" 1210. So there is not that big a difference. CMJ's 'Who's who' has it as Bishen. Wisden seems to use only the surname. Not sure what Indian Cricket (annual) says about it. But since CI/CA goes with Bishan, I don't have a problem with the move. We just have to mention the alternate spelling in the very first line. Tintin Talk 14:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Balance

Needs more on the cricket IMHO. At the moment, it seems from this article that BB was famous for shouting too much about Murali, rather than his spin bowling. I do believe he held the Indian record for Test wickets at the point at which he retired. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

That maybe so, but of recent times the most notable thing he has done is complain about Murali... that has in the eyes of the cricketing community taken a greater precedence than his exquisite bowling ... sad, but true Pubuman (talk) 06:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
